MERCEDES E2008 · 2.1L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test on 29 December 2025 at 137,007 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean passes indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed any mechanical or structural issues that typically arise on a vehicle of this age and mileage. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eighteen-year-old Mercedes Benz, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. Between November 2021 and December 2025, the car covered 35,504 miles, showing a steady usage profile without long periods of stationary neglect. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests saw a jump of 14,600 miles, which aligns with the overall annual average. This regular usage is beneficial for older components as it prevents the dry corrosion and seal failure often associated with low-mile vehicles. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer must still perform a physical inspection of common failure points for the E-Class generation. At 137,000 miles, the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs are likely to show signs of cracking or fatigue. The buyer should also inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, particularly around the subframes and rear arches, as the MOT only identifies structural weakness once it reaches a failure threshold. Checking the brake calipers for binding and uneven pad wear is also advisable to ensure the clean digital record reflects the current state of the braking system.
