2019 Mercedes-Benz V 2.1L Diesel · LN19 BYV

This 2019 Mercedes-Benz V-Class presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 5 August 2025 at 71,192 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle has moved from a minor advisory in 2022 to three consecutive passes with no flagged items, indicating that basic consumable upkeep has been addressed and no new mechanical or structural faults have emerged in the last three years. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,170 miles per year. The annual tests show steady progression from 33,689 miles in March 2022 through to 71,192 miles in August 2025, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in recorded distance. The most recent test is now over ten months old as of June 2026, so a buyer should verify whether the vehicle has been driven significantly since August 2025 and whether a fresh MOT has been obtained in the interim. The only defect on record was a pair of front tyre wear advisories noted on 28 March 2022 at 33,689 miles, where both nearside and offside front outer tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This pattern typically points to underinflation, aggressive cornering, or misaligned tracking rather than a serious mechanical fault, and the subsequent clean passes suggest the issue was resolved. No suspension, braking, exhaust, or structural corrosion defects have ever appeared on the record. Despite the clean paperwork, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry and wheel alignment given the earlier tyre wear pattern, as well as a thorough check of the brake discs, pads, and calipers for any uneven wear or binding. The underbody and load-bearing structural points should be examined for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and sills, as these can develop silently on larger vehicles even when MOT outcomes remain clean. Tyre condition and inflation pressures should be verified, along with a live road test to confirm the steering tracks true and the gearbox shifts smoothly through all gears under load.
