Our Verdict
Recommended for its clean recent MOT history and reliable performance, though the 2022 MOT failures highlight minor wear that should be inspected.
Prioritise checking the front brake pads, rear tyres, and brake discs following the 2022 MOT failures. Verify service history for regular maintenance, particularly diesel-specific servicing. Negotiate the price slightly due to the above-average mileage, but the clean recent MOTs offset this. Inspect for any signs of diesel particulate filter (DPF) issues, common in older diesels. Ensure the vehicle’s history matches the MOT records provided.
The 1.95-litre diesel engine offers decent fuel economy, averaging around 45-50 mpg on the motorway. Road tax for 2026 would be £150 annually (CO2 emissions 149g/km). Insurance group 20-25 is typical for this model, costing £800-£1,200 yearly. Maintenance costs are moderate, with £300-£500 expected every 2-3 years for brake and tyre replacements. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the front brake pads (replaced in 2022) and rear tyres (worn close to legal limits). Check the brake discs for warping or excessive wear. Inspect the DPF for clogging, a known issue in older Mercedes diesels. Review the service book for evidence of regular oil changes and filter replacements. Examine the body for rust, particularly around wheel arches and door sills, common in older German cars.
This 2016 Mercedes-Benz E Class diesel has a strong recent MOT record with no defects in the last four years, though the 2022 MOT noted minor issues. The mileage of 102,358 miles is slightly above average for a 10-year-old vehicle, but the car’s consistent maintenance suggests good ownership. No aggregate reliability data is available for the E model, but the VIN-specific history shows no major concerns.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Mercedes-Benz E model, but this VIN’s history shows no systemic issues beyond typical wear for a 10-year-old diesel.
