2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · D12 MBR

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz E presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 76,689 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 49,820 miles in October 2021, rising to 55,813 by September 2022, 62,983 by September 2023, 70,374 by August 2024, and 76,689 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 5,900 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing five consecutive passes and no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Low mileage combined with the age suggests the car may have stood for extended periods, which can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to craze, and underbody corrosion to develop unseen by the tester. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring mechanical trend is evident, but components such as brake discs, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity warrant hands-on checks. Given the unbroken pass record and light use, previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current. The lack of any failed tests or worn consumable flags implies disciplined servicing rather than deferred maintenance.
