2016 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · CD02 BOB

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health with a consistent record of compliance. The most recent MOT test conducted on 17 October 2025 at 51,401 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains in a stable and roadworthy condition. This streak of four consecutive clean passes since April 2023 indicates that the car has been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by testers during this period. The recorded mileage of 51,401 miles over a ten-year lifespan averages approximately 5,140 miles per annum, which sits well below the typical usage for a vehicle of this class. The testing frequency remains regular and chronological, showing no significant gaps or periods of prolonged inactivity that might otherwise suggest issues with seized components or degraded seals. The low mileage suggests the car has likely seen light, perhaps urban or short-distance use, rather than heavy motorway accumulation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of consumables that often deteriorate during low-mileage cycles. While the MOT history is exemplary, you should verify the age and condition of the tyres for signs of sidewall perishing, as low-mileage vehicles often retain tyres long past their optimal lifespan. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion caused by infrequent use, as these components can develop pitting when a car stands for extended periods. Given the lack of advisories in the history, the suspension bushes and coil springs appear to be in good order, though a standard visual check for any weeping dampers or perished rubber gaiters remains a prudent final step before purchase.
