2016 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · GS16 DKS

The vehicle currently maintains a positive roadworthiness status, evidenced by a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 March 2026 at 124,836 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a brief period in March 2025 where the vehicle initially failed but was subsequently rectified and re-tested, suggesting that any identified issues were addressed promptly to return the car to legal compliance. The mileage profile indicates consistent high-usage patterns, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per annum over the last three years. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the car covered 14,611 miles, while the period between February 2024 and March 2025 saw an additional 9,321 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary, which generally keeps mechanical components lubricated but exposes them to standard wear and tear associated with a 124,000-mile lifespan. Given the clean nature of the most recent test records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components typical of this age bracket. Attention should be directed toward the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of rubber degradation, as these often fatigue on higher mileage executive cars. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural corrosion, checking the brake discs for uneven wear and inspecting the condition of the exhaust mounting system remains advisable to ensure the consistent long-distance driving has not led to accelerated component failure.
