2016 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · DA16 OSU

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 279,400 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no advisories or failures in any recorded examination. Annual mileage sits high for a 2016 car. The record shows 195,695 miles on 21 October 2022, rising to 205,361 by 28 April 2023, then 231,551 on 28 March 2024, 253,569 on 17 April 2025, and 279,400 on 23 March 2026. That averages close to 28,000 miles per year. The gap between the October 2022 and April 2023 entries covers roughly six months for under 10,000 miles, but the remaining intervals show steady high use with no standing periods. The sparse, defect-free record implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables and emissions within limits but gives no insight into underlying wear from the distance covered. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the accumulated mileage. Brake discs and calipers will have endured heavy cycle counts; a workshop should measure remaining thickness and check for binding. Drivetrain mounts and exhaust hangers deserve scrutiny for fatigue not visible in a pass result. The clean MOT trail should not mask the fact that 279,400 miles on a ten-year-old executive diesel stresses structural and mechanical parts beyond typical used-car norms. Verify service history matches the odometer before purchase.
