2016 Mercedes-Benz E220 SE Bluetec Auto 2.1L Heavy oil · KS65 HDJ

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT record over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on 25 July 2025 at 130,390 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This history suggests a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed potential mechanical or safety issues before they could trigger a failure or a formal advisory note. The mileage pattern indicates consistent high-frequency usage, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 81,848 miles and the July 2025 test at 130,390 miles, the car covered nearly 50,000 miles in just three years. This steady accumulation is typical of long-distance motorway driving which often results in less component wear compared to short urban trips, yet the lack of any advisories despite this high mileage implies that the drivetrain and primary suspension components have been well-maintained under load. While the digital record shows no recurring structural or mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer must verify the condition of the front control arm bushes and rear coil springs, as these often fatigue around the 130,000-mile mark. The brake discs should be checked for thinning or uneven wear, as the MOT does not measure pad thickness beyond basic safety limits. Given the age and mileage, checking for any oil leaks around the turbocharger or gearbox seals is essential to ensure the high-mileage usage has not resulted in internal seal degradation.
