2016 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · FP66 ABF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 20 October 2025 at 103,966 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows two recent failures immediately preceding successful passes. While the latest test recorded no defects, the pattern of failing and then retesting suggests that previous owners likely only addressed mechanical issues when forced by an MOT failure rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage progression is consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 80,124 miles and the October 2024 test at 95,005 miles, the car covered 14,881 miles in just thirteen months. Another 8,961 miles were recorded in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This regular use indicates a vehicle driven consistently which puts predictable strain on wear items like suspension bushings and drivetrain components. Because the record lacks specific recorded advisories for defects, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on areas that commonly fail on the E-Class models at this mileage. Prioritize checking the control arm bushes and rear coil springs for fatigue cracks, and inspect the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear. Given the recent failures in 2024 and 2025, verify that the specific components which caused those failures were properly replaced rather than merely adjusted with temporary fixes.
