2010 MERCEDES-BENZ E2.1L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 February 2026 at 159,390 miles passed with no recorded defects, continuing a streak of clean results seen in previous years. This consistent lack of advisories suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach, addressing potential issues before they could escalate into MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between March 2022 and February 2026, the car covered 36,967 miles, showing a steady usage pattern without significant periods of neglect or sudden spikes in mileage. The intervals between tests are generally regular, ranging from 11 to 13 months, indicating that the MOT has been kept up to date and the vehicle is used regularly, which helps to prevent the degradation of seals and brake components often associated with long periods of standing. Despite the clean electronic record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common to this high-mileage Mercedes-Benz E-Class model. Given the 159,390 miles recorded, a close-up examination of the suspension bushes and control arm ball is essential, as these often wear out at this stage. The buyer should also check for signs of minor corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting, as while the MOT has not flagged structural issues, age and mileage inevitably affect chassis integrity. Checking the brake discs for deep scoring or uneven wear will help confirm if the mechanical health matches the positive administrative history.
