2016 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · HX16 WSV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a remarkably clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 May 2025 at 86,668 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This consistent clean sheet across the last four years indicates that the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to repairs, ensuring all mechanical and structural components meet DVSA standards without recurring failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. Between March 2022 at 67,088 miles and May 2025 at 86,668 miles, the car covered 19,580 miles, showing steady usage without excessive strain. The 5,518 mile gap between January 2024 and May 2025 tests reflects a regular driving cycle, suggesting the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing which often leads to perished rubber components or seized brakes in older Mercedes. While the MOT record shows no failures regarding suspension bushes, brake calipers, or structural integrity, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for an E-Class of this age. A buyer should verify the condition of the control arm bushings and shock absorber seals, as these are not always flagged until they reach significant wear. Given the relatively low mileage, checking for fluid leaks and the state of tyre age-related cracking is also advisable to ensure the mechanical health matches the pristine history provided by the test records.
