2016 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · FG66 AVW

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 August 2025 at 64,011 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained period of clean results across the last five years indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has avoided the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically flagged during MOT testing. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 34,152 miles and the 2025 test at 64,011 miles, the car covered roughly 30,000 miles at a steady rate. This regularity suggests light, predictable use rather than long periods of standing which can lead to internal corrosion. The low cumulative mileage for the age typically results in less wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake hardware compared to high-mileage counterparts. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults or historical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related degradation rather than mileage. Buyers should check the condition of rubber-based suspension elements and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as these perish despite low usage. Examining the brake discs for pitting and checking the brake fluid for moisture content are also appropriate steps, given that the MOT does not assess the chemical condition of fluids or the surface oxidation of braking components.
