2020 Mercedes-Benz E 350 AMG Line Edition D Auto 2.9L Diesel · GX70 OYE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection, though the record indicates early signs of mechanical wear. In the September 2023 test at 56,372 miles, the tester identified a slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. While this did not result in a failure, it marks the beginning of component degradation in the front end geometry that requires monitoring to prevent a future MOT failure. The recorded mileage of 56,372 miles over a six-year period reflects an average of approximately 9,400 miles per annum. This figure aligns with typical annual usage for a premium executive saloon and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive motorway stress or high-frequency neglect. The data remains relatively sparse, with only one recorded MOT entry provided, which limits the ability to track the long-term trend of the braking system or exhaust integrity since the 2020 manufacture. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to assess if the play previously noted in the nearside ball joint has worsened. Attention should also be paid to the rubber bushings on the control arms for signs of cracking or tearing, as these components often fail around this mileage interval. Given that the history is limited, verifying the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the pads is essential to ensure the previous owner maintained the mechanical components consistently between the official test dates.
