2006 Mercedes-Benz E 1.8L Petrol · H5 BAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as the latest MOT on 2 October 2023 at 17,327 miles recorded no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no worsening or improving patterns evident from the record. The mileage has remained virtually unchanged since the 2021 test at 17,026 miles, rising only to 17,222 miles in 2022 and 17,327 miles in 2023, a gain of 301 miles over three years, or roughly 100 miles per year, indicating light usage relative to its 20‑year age. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the brake calipers for binding, examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and assess the chassis and underbody for any structural rust or damage, while also verifying that the exhaust system meets emission standards. Given the consistent low mileage and absence of recorded faults, the car appears to have been maintained with minimal stress on consumables, but an in‑person examination is essential to confirm the condition of these critical components before purchase.
