2023 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Electric diesel · LS73 RCU

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the April 10 2026 MOT, passing at 74,080 miles, but the tester flagged the off‑side front inner tyre and the off‑side rear inner tyre as worn close to the legal limit, indicating imminent replacement. Mileage has risen sharply since the last recorded test in September 2024. Between 21,664 miles on 13 September 2024 and 74,080 miles on 10 April 2026 the car accrued roughly 52,400 miles in 19 months, averaging over 27,000 miles per year – well above the typical 15,000‑20,000 miles for a three‑year‑old Mercedes‑Benz. Earlier intervals show steadier growth, with 24,369 miles on 9 October 2024 and 43,237 miles on 30 June 2025, suggesting a recent surge in usage rather than a chronic pattern of neglect. A prospective buyer should confirm the condition of the tyres, ensuring tread depth exceeds the legal minimum and that sidewall integrity is sound, as the MOT advisory points to wear on the off‑side set. Inspection of the suspension components – particularly front and rear bushes and coil springs – is advisable given the high mileage, as is a visual check of the brake discs and pads for wear, even though no defects were recorded in the MOT history. A thorough examination for any surface corrosion or structural rust will further verify that the vehicle’s chassis has not suffered hidden damage despite the clean advisory record.
