2019 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · AV19 AYS

The vehicle currently stands as roadworthy, but the MOT trend is clearly deteriorating rather than stable. The most recent test on 2026-05-15 at 192,325 miles was passed, yet the pattern immediately preceding this date shows a consistent failure to maintain the required 60 miles per 100-mile test interval. This gap between the 2026-05-15 test and the 2026-02-08 test is the primary indicator of an ongoing deterioration in mechanical condition. The car has consistently failed the MOT on 2026-02-08, 2025-04-30, and 2024-11-02, demonstrating a clear worsening trend that has not been corrected since the 2026-02-08 test. The mileage progression is characterised by a significant acceleration over the past two years, with the vehicle reaching 232,550 miles on 2024-05-04 while having only passed the MOT on 192,325 miles on 2026-05-15. This rapid accumulation suggests that the car has been driven for approximately 10,000 miles since the 2026-02-08 test, a period that likely included extended driving or parking without proper maintenance. The gap between the 2026-02-08 and 2025-04-30 test indicates that the vehicle has not been serviced for several months, which is critical given the high mileage associated with this interval. In conclusion, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection immediately following the 2026-02-08 MOT failure. The recurring faults of binding brakes, worn suspension components, and structural corrosion indicate a serious mechanical condition that requires immediate attention. The vehicle is not roadworthy for long-term use due to the worsening trend in maintenance history, and the lack of recent MOT passes since the 2026-02-08 test confirms that the mechanical integrity has deteriorated.
