2016 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · XS11 UBH

The vehicle demonstrates a stable and positive maintenance trend, evidenced by three consecutive clean passes since late 2023. The most recent MOT conducted on 17 October 2025 at 52,330 miles confirms the car is currently in a roadworthy condition with no outstanding defects or advisories. The absence of recorded issues in the last two years suggests that previous owners have addressed mechanical requirements promptly, maintaining the vehicle to a high standard. With an average annual usage of approximately 5,233 miles, the total recorded mileage of 52,330 is notably low for a 2016 model. The consistency of the mileage accumulation between 2022 and 2025 indicates regular, albeit light, use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern is generally favourable, as it avoids the risks associated with long-term storage, such as seized components or degraded rubber seals, while keeping the drivetrain and chassis wear well below industry averages for this age of vehicle. The single failure recorded on 19 October 2023 regarding a fractured nearside rear coil spring is a common issue for this chassis and was resolved immediately prior to the pass later that same day. While the record is currently clean, a prospective buyer should still physically inspect the remaining suspension components, specifically the offside rear spring and all shock absorber seals, to ensure no secondary damage occurred during the previous failure. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the brake discs for surface corrosion and the underside for any early signs of oxidation remains a prudent step, despite the lack of tester comments in recent history.
