2016 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · ST66 GHB

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 14 June 2025 at 86,086 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates a stable and positive maintenance trend, as the car has successfully cleared four consecutive annual inspections without a single advisory. The brief failure recorded on 15 June 2022 appears to be an administrative anomaly or a rectified minor issue, given that the vehicle passed the same day, suggesting the owner addressed any immediate concerns promptly. With an average of approximately 8,600 miles per year over its decade of service, the vehicle shows a consistent and typical usage pattern. There are no indications of long-term storage or excessive high-mileage strain that might accelerate the degradation of drivetrain components or chassis bushings. The lack of recurring advisories throughout the four-year history suggests that previous owners maintained the vehicle to a high standard, likely replacing consumable parts like brake pads and tyres before they reached a point of failure during the annual test. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension components and the integrity of the underbody, as these areas often remain unmonitored until they reach the point of failure. While the MOT history is clean, check the brake discs for signs of pitting or scoring, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from surface corrosion if left standing for extended periods. Verify that the electronic parking brake operates smoothly and ensure there are no unusual noises from the drivetrain during a test drive, as these mechanical aspects fall outside the scope of a standard statutory test.
