2016 Mercedes Unknown 3.0L Diesel · DB14 LEY

The 2016 Mercedes presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 35,175 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Recorded mileage shows light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The odometer climbed from 22,438 miles at the 5 April 2023 test to 27,032 miles in March 2024, then 30,789 miles in March 2025, reaching 35,175 miles by March 2026. That averages roughly 3,500 miles per year. The DVSA data is sparse, with only four annual passes and one same-day failure on 5 April 2023 showing no defects logged, so no wear trends or recurring advisories can be drawn from the record itself. A buyer should still verify in person the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage may mask perished rubbers from prolonged standing. The same-day fail with no defects recorded on 5 April 2023 suggests an administrative or emissions retest rather than a mechanical fault, but confirm the VOSA failure reason if available. Given the clean sheet across all tests, previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to pass standard with no flagged corrosion or consumable neglect. A pre-purchase inspection should nonetheless check for structural rust and tyre sidewall cracking that low-mileage storage can conceal.
