2016 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · AF66 HSN

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 75,873 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test the previous day on 3 November 2025, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a ten-year-old executive saloon. The vehicle covered 12,049 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, and a further 6,028 miles leading up to the November 2025 test. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has avoided long periods of standing, which reduces the risk of seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no advisories or failures related to suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion across five years of testing. There are no recurring faults to indicate systemic neglect. The absence of flags regarding brake disc wear or exhaust emissions suggests a disciplined approach to mechanical upkeep by previous owners. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that the MOT may not highlight as critical. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these consumables are due for review given the mileage. Inspect the chassis and wheel arches for surface corrosion, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed structural health report beyond the pass/fail outcome.
