2013 MERCEDES-BENZ E2.1L Diesel

The vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness record, having passed five consecutive annual inspections without a single defect or advisory notice. The most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 78,213 miles confirms the car remains in a stable mechanical condition. This consistent performance over the last half-decade indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance and suggests the previous owner addressed minor wear before it escalated into formal test failures. The recorded mileage of 78,213 miles over a thirteen-year lifespan averages approximately 6,000 miles per annum, which aligns perfectly with typical usage patterns for this class of executive saloon. The history shows a remarkably steady accumulation of distance, with roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles added between each annual inspection. This lack of significant mileage gaps or erratic spikes suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which helps mitigate the risks of seized calipers, perished rubber seals, or stale fuel systems. While the MOT history is pristine, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking components. Even with clean test results, the age of the vehicle means that rubber bushes, ball joints, and coil springs may be reaching the end of their design life. Check for any signs of weeping shock absorbers or uneven tyre wear that might not have been captured during the last test. Inspect the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion on the subframes or brake lines, as these areas often escape notice until they reach a critical threshold. Confirm that the electronic systems and dashboard warning lights function correctly, as the MOT test does not cover the full diagnostic health of the complex Mercedes-Benz electrical architecture.
