2021 Mercedes-Benz E 220 AMG LNE NGT ED PRM + D A 1.9L Diesel · EY11 ANE

A structural repair to the nearside front wheel rim and a history of severe tyre degradation define the mechanical record of this vehicle. While the test on 2026-02-12 resulted in a pass, the advisory regarding a welded inner wheel rim suggests a previous impact or significant damage. This follows a dangerous failure on 2025-02-27 where the nearside front tyre had exposed ply and cords, alongside several other tyre wear and cut advisories. The recorded mileage of 33,792 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,758 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This usage pattern suggests consistent road use rather than prolonged periods of standing or excessive long-distance wear. Mechanically, this level of mileage typically means that primary drivetrain components and suspension bushings should still be within their expected service life, though consumables like brake pads and tyres will have seen standard wear. Particular scrutiny is required for the nearside front wheel assembly due to the recorded weld repair on the inner rim. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any steering wheel vibration or shimmy, particularly at higher speeds, which could indicate an imbalance resulting from the rim repair. It is also necessary to inspect the current condition of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, as the 2025 failure for exposed cords and multiple cuts suggests a period of significant tyre wear that may be linked to underlying alignment issues. The steering should be monitored for any pull to one side or instability, which would further correlate with the history of wheel damage. Additionally, the buyer should verify that the registration plates now conform to the specified requirements following the failures recorded on 2024-02-22. No other mechanical defects or chronic advisories have been flagged in the DVSA history, leaving the wheel and tyre integrity as the primary points of inspection.
