2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · A777 MEL

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 19 March 2026 at 67,528 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the three years of available history. The owner cleared the test after a failed attempt on 16 March 2026 at 67,493 miles where the tester logged no defects, a pattern repeated in March 2025 when a pass on 20 March at 61,393 miles followed a defect-free failure on 18 March. Such back-to-back fails with no listed faults typically point to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than escalating wear. Annual mileage sits low for a 2013 car, averaging roughly 5,194 miles per year against the 67,528 miles now recorded. The records show steady yearly use: 54,117 miles in March 2024, 61,393 in March 2025, and 67,528 in March 2026, an even climb of about 6,200 to 6,400 miles each year with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. The clean advisories across all entries suggest light use and a keeper who presented the car for timely testing, though the twin defect-free failures in both 2025 and 2026 hint at rushed bookings or retest confusion rather than neglected upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the lack of any advisory data to confirm wear status. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity flags in the DVLA record is reassuring, but 13-year-old Mercedes rubber components and exhaust emissions systems degrade silently without tester comment. Verify the VIN and test certificate numbers match the defect-free failure entries, since repeated no-fault rejects merit confirmation the correct vehicle was tested.
