2016 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · MX66 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the maintenance trend showing recent improvement following a period of significant mechanical concern. The most recent inspection in December 2025 passed with 87,176 miles, though it was noted for an offside rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit. This suggests that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, attention is required regarding wheel alignment or suspension geometry to address the uneven wear pattern identified on that tyre. At a recorded 87,176 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,700 miles per year, which is considered typical for a ten-year-old executive saloon. The data shows consistent annual progression, with roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles added between tests from 2022 through 2025. This usage pattern indicates the car has not been subjected to extreme mileage, which generally reduces the strain on drivetrain components compared to higher-usage counterparts. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the suspension and wheel bearings, given the failure in November 2022 where both the nearside and offside front bearings exhibited excessive play. While these appear to have been rectified based on subsequent passes, the recurring nature of' tyre wear in the latest test warrants a thorough check of the control arms, bushes, and tracking alignment. Additionally, the engine management system should be verified for functionality, as the vehicle previously suffered an inoperative warning light during the 2022ion.
