2016 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LS66 CHL

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 September 2025 at 26,643 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-kept and has not suffered significant mechanical or structural degradation over the last five testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,664 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered only 3,540 miles, showing a very gradual progression of roughly 885 miles annually. This pattern suggests the car was likely used only for short urban trips or remained stationary for extended periods. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces risks related to fluid degradation and rubber component perishishing from lack of regular use. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. You must check for cracking in rubber elements such as suspension bushes, coil boots, and tyre sidewalls which can dry out and fail without high mileage. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to caliper seizing or uneven wear. Additionally, verify that the engine oil and fluids have been changed according to time intervals rather than mileage to prevent internal acidity buildup.
