2016 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · DS16 SVT

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The May 2026 test at 72,106 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle was in good mechanical order at that time. This follows a brief period of minor electronic issues in May 2025, where a failure regarding the tyre pressure monitoring system was immediately rectified to achieve a pass. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical long-distance commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 30,370 miles in May 2019 to 72,106 miles in May 2026. This gradual increase suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with perished rubber components or seized braking elements often found in low-usage vehicles. The MOT history reveals a pattern of minor consumable wear rather than significant mechanical or structural failures. The tester flagged nearside rear tyre issues in May 2020 and nearside front tyre wear in May 2021. These recurring advisories regarding tyre tread and edge wear suggest the previous owners occasionally deferred basic tyre maintenance. While these are minor issues, they indicate that the vehicle's upkeep has occasionally focused on essential compliance rather than proactive component replacement. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre tread and alignment to ensure no uneven wear persists. Given the previous tyre advisories, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and steering components would be prudent to rule out underlying alignment issues. The recent clean pass on the tyre pressure monitoring system means the electronic sensor system should be verified as fully operational during a test drive.
