1993 Mercedes-Benz E 2.2L Petrol · L628 ENF

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT certificate issued on 30 May 2025 at 146,851 miles showing no recorded defects. This indicates a stable and positive maintenance trend, as the car has achieved three consecutive passes without a single advisory or failure. The absence of flagged items suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to consistent upkeep and that the owner has addressed potential issues before they reached the point of formal inspection. With an average annual mileage of approximately 4,450 miles over its 33-year lifespan, the vehicle has seen light usage patterns. The MOT data shows a steady accumulation of miles between 2022 and 2025, confirming the car remains in active service rather than experiencing prolonged periods of inactivity. This level of usage is generally favourable for a vehicle of this era, as it avoids the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage daily drivers while preventing the mechanical degradation often caused by long-term storage. Despite the clean test history, a physical inspection must focus on areas common to this Mercedes-Benz chassis, specifically structural integrity and corrosion. You should inspect the jacking points, floor pans, and inner wheel arches for any signs of remedial welding or hidden rust that may have been overlooked during the testing process. While the braking and suspension systems have performed well in recent tests, verify the condition of the rubber bushings and brake lines, as age-related perishing can occur even when the vehicle is not driven frequently. Prioritise a thorough check of the underside to ensure that the clean MOT record reflects genuine component health rather than surface-level maintenance.
