2016 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · FM65 WDT

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 24 February 2026 at 66,282 miles, with a clean test showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the recorded history, with four consecutive passes and a single failure on 19 February 2026 at 66,212 miles that recorded no defects, indicating a administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or worsening patterns appear in the five-year record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,628 miles per year against the 2016 build date, a typical figure for this age of executive saloon. The records show steady accumulation: 52,563 miles in February 2023, 57,100 in February 2024, 61,663 in February 2025, and 66,212 to 66,282 by February 2026. The gap between the 19 February 2026 failure and the 24 February 2026 pass is five days at 70 miles added, suggesting a quick retest. No long standing periods or rapid jumps are evident. The DVSA data flags no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues across the timeline. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and binding calipers given the vehicle's ten years. The clean advisory sheet does not exempt the car from wear on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades unseen by the tester. Given the sparse but clean record, previous ownership appears to have maintained the car to pass standard with no deferred mechanical risks logged. Physical checks of exhaust emissions hardware and chassis welds remain prudent before purchase.
