2016 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · CX66 LWS

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz E presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 48,235 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 4 September 2024 at 47,803 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a fail on 21 August 2024 at 47,797 miles, logged with no defects recorded, followed twelve days later by the clean pass; this suggests an administrative or unrecorded rectification rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or emissions appear anywhere in the chain. Recorded mileage stays low for a ten-year-old vehicle. It rose from 40,495 miles at the 8 September 2022 test to 45,070 miles by 16 August 2023, then to 47,803 miles by 4 September 2024, and 48,235 miles by September 2025. That averages roughly 4,800 miles per year. The gap between the August 2024 fail and the September 2024 pass shows only six miles added, implying the car sat idle or moved minimally while the test anomaly was resolved. Sparse, clean records give little evidence of neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age and likely periods of standing. The clean MOT chain means no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust issues were flagged by testers. Verify tyre sidewall condition and brake disc wear visually, as these consumables fall outside MOT defect logging when within limits. The low annual use points to light motoring, but static storage can hide perished rubber bushes that a static test will not always catch.
