2016 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · GF66 OJH

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the March 2026 test, where at 78,565 miles the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across the available history. The March 2026 pass came ten days after a failed attempt at 78,371 miles, though that failure also listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits at a typical 7,856 per year for a 2016 car, with 78,565 recorded at the latest test. The record shows a sharp rise between March 2024 and March 2025, jumping from 50,264 to 69,213 miles in twelve months, before a further 9,352 miles to March 2026. The February 2025 failure at 68,982 miles and the March 2026 failure at 78,371 miles, both with no defects cited, suggest the previous owner submitted the car for testing before resolving paperwork or minor non-mechanical criteria rather than neglecting core upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the age and the 28,000-mile accumulation since 2024. The clean MOT sheet offers no advisories on corrosion or exhaust emissions, but DVSA tests do not assess hidden structural integrity beyond visible surfaces. Verify the service history matches the mileage gaps and confirm the reasons behind the two zero-defect failures before purchase.
