2011 Mercedes-Benz E200 Blue-CY SE CDI A 2.1L Diesel · EK11 AFE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-07-08 at 177,184 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2023-05-09 (162,815 miles) and 2022-05-22 (154,932 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. A single failure in 2022-05-18 (154,912 miles) was noted but no defects were recorded, which may reflect administrative error or a minor technicality. The absence of recurring faults over this period implies the car has been well-maintained, with no escalating mechanical concerns. The mileage of 177,184 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 11,812 miles, typical for a 15-year-old vehicle. The 2021-03-14 test at 148,735 miles shows a 6,197-mile gap to the 2022-05-22 test, which could indicate infrequent use or a delayed MOT. Subsequent tests show steady progression, with no abrupt mileage spikes. The record lacks detailed defect reports, which may suggest either a clean history or limited scrutiny during inspections. Buyers should verify if the odometer reading matches the vehicle’s physical condition, as mileage discrepancies can signal tampering. While no specific mechanical faults are documented, the car’s age and mileage warrant inspection of high-wear components. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs may exhibit wear, particularly given the 2022-05-18 failure’s unexplained nature. Corrosion in underbody areas, exhaust system integrity, and steering linkages should be checked for age-related degradation. The absence of advisories does not eliminate risks associated with long-term use, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s structural and functional soundness.
