2016 Mercedes-Benz V220D 2.1L Diesel · LX66 FXO

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT test dated 24 December 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car passed this inspection at 46,380 miles without a single defect or advisory recorded. This clean bill of health suggests the mechanical components were in good order at the time of the test. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,638 miles per year. The lack of mileage growth between the last recorded test and the current date of 23 July 2026 suggests the vehicle has spent a significant period standing. While low mileage reduces general wear on the drivetrain, prolonged inactivity often introduces different mechanical risks. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of distance. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and coolant hoses can perish or crack when a vehicle sits idle. The braking system requires close scrutiny for binding calipers or pitted brake discs, as lack of use often leads to corrosion and seized sliders. Check for signs of moisture ingress or battery degradation resulting from long-term storage. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the gap in usage since December 2024 means a fresh check of all fluid levels and a test of the electrical systems is necessary to confirm the vehicle remains fit for purpose.
