2020 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Electric diesel · GO03 RCK

The most recent MOT on 30 June 2025 was a clean pass at 45,695 mi, so the car currently meets the legal safety standards. However, the MOT record shows a recurring tyre‑wear pattern. In 2024 the off‑side rear tyre was flagged for exposed ply, and the same tyre failed again in 2025 for the same issue. Earlier tests also highlighted tread depth problems on the off‑side front and near‑side front tyres, plus a near‑side rear outer tyre that was slightly damaged in 2023. The repeated tyre warnings suggest the tyre set is ageing quickly or that the vehicle is being driven hard enough to accelerate wear. The trend is not deteriorating in terms of overall MOT status—the 2025 test passed—but the tyre‑related defects have persisted year on year. This indicates a stable but ongoing risk that will require replacement soon. Mileage of 45,695 mi for a six‑year‑old 2020 Mercedes‑Benz E works out to about 7,600 mi per year, which is within normal private‑use limits. The figure does not point to excessive wear, but it also does not rule out periods of light use followed by higher‑intensity driving that could explain the tyre wear. First‑hand inspection should focus on the tyres: check tread depth on all four wheels, look for any exposed cords or sidewall damage, and verify that the tyres are the correct size and type for the model.
