2016 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · GD14 SHA

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. Following the most recent test in June 2025 at 120,836 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects. This follows a streak of clean passes in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the previous owners have likely proactively addressed potential mechanical or safety issues before they resulted in an official test failure. The mileage profile reflects consistent, high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 18,970 miles, showing a regular operational pattern rather than periods of neglect. The only anomaly in the history occurred in July 2022, where the car failed a test at 94,682 miles but passed retest just one week later at 94,815 miles. This suggests a specific fault was identified and rectified immediately rather than representing a chronic mechanical failure. Despite the clean MOT records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to high-mileage wear. At over 120,000 miles, the suspension bushings, control arms, and shock absorbers often show signs of perished rubber or fluid leaks. You should also inspect the brake discs for thinning or scoring and check the calipers for binding, as consistent high mileage puts significant stress on these systems. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion is necessary to ensure the chassis integrity remains uncompromised despite the decade of use.
