2020 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · SC03 KES

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of intermittent failures. The most recent MOT test conducted on 3 October 2025 at 49,113 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that any previous mechanical or structural issues have been addressed and rectified. This transition from failure to a clean pass suggests that the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet DVSA standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 38,246 miles and the November 2024 test at 43,288 miles, the car covered 5,042 miles. The subsequent interval between November 2024 and October 2025 saw 5,825 miles driven. This steady accumulation suggests moderate use, which typically preserves drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems systems compared to high-mileage examples. The failures in November 2023 and 2024 indicate that specific components required immediate attention during those intervals, though the record does not detail the exact reasons for the rejects. A buyer should verify the condition of the brake assembly and suspension geometry in person to ensure no new binding calipers or perished bushes have developed since the last pass. Given the clean result of the most recent test, the focus should shift to checking for wear on rubber components and tyre tread depth, which are the primary consumable items for a vehicle at this mileage bracket.
