2020 Mercedes-Benz E 220 AMG Line ED Prem D A 1.9L Diesel · AX69 GWD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of Pass, as the most recent MOT test on 2026-01-13 at 24,725 miles was passed with no recorded defects. This indicates that the vehicle is mechanically sound for the current date, but the maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of increasing wear and tear over the past three years, suggesting that basic upkeep was not maintained in the early 2020s. The sequence of tests shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with the first test occurring in January 2026 at 24,725 miles, followed by a gap in the 2025-2024 testing period, and then a final test in January 2024 at 16,767 miles. This gap in testing data suggests that the owner may have experienced a period of inactivity or reduced driving frequency during the 2023-2024 timeframe, which could have led to accelerated component wear. The mileage accumulation rate is approximately 4,121 miles per year, which is consistent with a vehicle that has been in use for roughly six years. While this rate is relatively low for an E 220 AMG Line ED, it is not negligible; it indicates that the vehicle has been driven for at least six years and has maintained a consistent daily or weekly usage pattern. The lack of gaps between the 2026 and 2024 tests means that the vehicle has been driven continuously since at least January 2024, which, combined with the low mileage per year, implies that the owner has not been undertaking routine maintenance checks such as tyre rotation, wheel alignment, or fluid changes, as these tasks are typically performed every 6,000 to 10,000 miles. Given the history of failing on the nearside front nail in the tyre and the consistent increasing mileage, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and wear on critical components. The most significant risk is the structural integrity of the wheel bearings and suspension bushings, which are prone to corrosion and loss of alignment if not checked annually. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushings are also susceptible to rust and binding if not inspected regularly. Since the most recent MOT was passed in 2026, the vehicle is technically compliant for the current date, but the history suggests that the owner may be neglecting the critical maintenance of the suspension and brakes, which are vital for safety. A thorough inspection is required to determine if the vehicle meets the current standards for roadworthiness or if it requires a mandatory MOT to be passed before it can be sold.
