2016 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · KT16 AEF

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection on 28 November 2025 at 120,547 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car met all safety and emissions standards. This lack of failures suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to repairs, preventing minor issues from escalating into test failures. The mileage pattern reflects a consistent high-use profile, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between November 2021 at 73,929 miles and November 2025 at 120,547 miles, the vehicle covered over 46,000 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car was used regularly for long-distance travel rather than sitting, which often helps keep seals lubricated. However, the total distance of over 120,000 miles places significant strain on heavy-duty components like the drivetrain and suspension assembly. While the MOT record is devoid of recorded faults, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer should scrutinise the front suspension for perished control arm bushes and worn shock absorbers, as these are common failure points on Mercedes models of this age. Given the mileage, checking the brake system for thin discs or signs of caliper seizing is also essential. Furthermore, the chassis should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around the subframes, as the MOT only identifies structural rust once it reaches a specific failure threshold.
