2013 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · ER61 AMG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 May 2025 at 94,085 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of consistent success in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevented failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. The data shows a steady increase in usage, moving from 71,597 miles in November 2022 to 94,085 miles by May 2025. A brief period of inactivity occurred in November 2023, where the car failed at 83,622 miles but passed just 110 miles later. This failure suggests a minor, low-cost consumable or adjustment issue that was addressed immediately rather than a sign of long-term mechanical neglect. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should focus on specific components common to Mercedes-Benz models of this age. Given the low mileage relative to the age, inspect rubber components such as suspension bushes and bushings for cracking or perish, as these degrade over time regardless of distance. Check the brake system for signs of corrosion or binding calipers, as lower-frequency use can sometimes lead to piston seizing. A physical inspection of the chassis for structural rust is also necessary to ensure the structural integrity has not been compromised between the annual tests.
