2016 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · DA16 SXT

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status as of the 4 June 2025 test at 77,469 miles, where the tester passed it with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The record shows a clean run from the 20 June 2023 pass at 74,564 miles through to the latest test. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2016 registered car, averaging roughly 7,747 miles per year against the 77,469 miles recorded. The gap between the 20 June 2023 test at 74,564 miles and the 6 June 2024 test at 75,716 miles shows only 1,152 miles covered, followed by 1,753 miles to the June 2025 tests. Such low yearly use suggests the car spent extended periods stationary rather than sustained motorway wear. Two failed tests appear on the same dates as passes, both at 75,716 miles on 6 June 2024 and at 77,439 then 77,469 miles on 4 June 2025, with no defects listed on either failure. This pattern points to administrative re-tests or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided any flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions concerns. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the low-use profile, as standing vehicles develop damp-related rust unseen in a pass-only MOT. Verify the front suspension arms and rear coil springs for perishing, and confirm the binding calipers are free, since the record offers no evidence either way on those consumable items.
