Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this E-Class, focus on the service history to ensure the oil and filters have been changed regularly despite the low annual mileage. Low-use diesel engines can sometimes suffer from carbon buildup or battery degradation if left stationary for long periods. Check for any evidence of timing chain wear, which is a common point of attention for Mercedes diesel engines of this era.
Negotiate based on the gap in MOT records between 2022 and 2026. While the most recent test was clean, verify where the vehicle was and how it was stored during this period to ensure there are no hidden issues related to inactivity.
The 2.1L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering strong MPG for motorway cruising. Tax and insurance will be based on its 2016 registration and diesel emissions standards, which may attract higher rates in some low-emission zones.
Annual maintenance for an E-Class is generally higher than for smaller cars, particularly for brake pads and suspension components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and insurance, are likely to fall between £1,800 and £2,400 depending on annual mileage.
Focus your inspection on the areas where this model commonly fails MOTs: check the tyre tread and sidewalls, and inspect the suspension arms for wear or perished bushings. Although the January 2026 MOT recorded no defects, these are known weak points based on aggregate model data.
Check the brake pads for thickness and the discs for corrosion, especially given the low mileage which can sometimes lead to surface rust if the car is not driven frequently. Ensure all electronic systems in the cabin are functioning correctly.
This grey 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class features a 2.1L diesel engine and has covered 43,930 miles. The MOT history shows two passed tests, including a clean result in January 2026 with no defects recorded. Given the low mileage compared to the model average, it presents a compelling value proposition.
The E-Class has an average MOT pass rate of 83.8%, with common failures typically related to tyres, suspension arms, and brake pads.
