2015 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · BU65 ADX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-02-21 at 223,931 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The prior test in 2021-08-09 at 194,119 miles also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. No advisories or failures are documented, which implies the owner addressed minor concerns promptly. However, the absence of recorded defects does not guarantee absence of underlying wear, particularly given the high mileage for its age. The vehicle’s mileage increased by 29,812 miles between the 2021 and 2022 MOTs, averaging 5,000 miles per month—a sharp rise compared to its 11-year total of 223,931 miles. This rapid accumulation raises concerns about accelerated wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though no such issues were flagged. The MOT records lack data prior to 2021, leaving gaps in the vehicle’s maintenance history. The clean tests suggest no critical failures, but the high usage rate necessitates closer scrutiny of mechanical components. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which can degrade under heavy use. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Corrosion in the exhaust system or underbody is another risk, particularly if the vehicle was driven in harsh conditions. While the MOTs show no structural integrity issues, the lack of detailed records beyond 2021 means a pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
