2016 Mercedes-Benz V 2.1L Diesel · SH65 AAA

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz V presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 19,242 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since at least 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year DVSA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any annual examination. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally low use for a ten-year-old vehicle. Records trace 11,199 miles on 10 June 2021, rising to 14,871 by 16 July 2022, 16,215 by 5 July 2023, 17,820 by 17 June 2024, and 19,242 by June 2025. That averages roughly 1,900 miles per year with no sudden accumulation or dormant gaps. The sparse, defect-free record gives little evidence of neglected consumables, though standing periods implied by low annual mileage can allow corrosion or seized components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding after storage. The tester recorded no structural integrity concerns or exhaust emissions failures, yet long idle intervals at this age warrant checking underbody corrosion and tyre sidewall cracking. Verify the service history matches the low mileage, as absent intervals would contradict the clean MOT trail.
