2019 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · LR69 KBY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-05-01 showed two major tyre issues: the offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit with edge wear, and the nearside rear tyre had tread depth below 1.6mm. These defects caused the test to fail. The previous MOT in April 2026, just 17 days earlier, also failed with similar tyre problems. The tyre wear pattern is consistent across both failed tests, showing a recurring issue with uneven or excessive wear. This suggests either incorrect alignment, improper inflation, or high usage on the front axle. There is no indication of improvement in the tyre condition over time. The vehicle has logged 92,230 miles over seven years, which averages around 13,176 miles annually. This is a high mileage for its age, suggesting regular use or possibly hard driving. However, the lack of other defects in earlier MOTs indicates the car has been maintained reasonably well otherwise. The trend shows worsening tyre performance, especially in the front.
