2016 Mercedes-Benz E 3.5L Petrol · BA16 WAO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 2 June 2025 at 53,337 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical requirements before they reached a failure threshold. The absence of recorded faults over five years suggests the car has remained in a good operational condition. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,334 miles per year. Between May 2021 at 36,778 miles and June 2025 at 53,337 miles, the car covered only 16,559 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to average-run examples. However, low-mileage vehicles that undergo long periods of standing can occasionally suffer from the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and seals, which are not always captured during standard MOT testing. Despite the clean digital record, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components susceptible to age and low-mileage use. Focus on the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or pitting if the vehicle has sat for extended periods. Check the underbody for early signs of structural corrosion or exhaust system wear, as the MOT only flags these once they become safety risks. Since the record shows no recurring advisories, the vehicle appears to be a well-maintained example that has avoided the mechanical strain typical of high-mileage motorway cars.
