2020 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · AF20 GHB

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the March 2026 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 2026-03-30 at 58,893 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across all recorded tests, with no advisories or failures on mechanical grounds. The duplicate March 2026 entry, a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, points to an administrative correction rather than a genuine fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,800 miles per year against the car's 2020 build date, a typical use pattern for this class. The records show steady accumulation: 25,100 miles at the March 2023 test, 37,980 by March 2024, 47,792 by March 2025, and 58,893 by March 2026. No abrupt jumps or dormant periods appear in the data. The clean sheet across five years suggests the previous keeper kept to scheduled servicing and addressed wear before it reached test-threshold condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as the MOT record captures only test-day condition and omits gradual degradation between visits. At six years old, the E-Class may show early corrosion on structural underbody members or subframe mounts even where the tester logged nothing. The absence of advisories means no binding calipers, exhaust leaks, or tyre-tread concerns were raised, but these components age with time irrespective of mileage. Given the sparse but clean history, the prudent step is a pre-purchase examination of drivetrain mounts and steering linkages, plus verification of the March 2026 duplicate entry with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect. The current owner's record implies disciplined upkeep rather than deferred maintenance.
