2008 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · FT57 AEN

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend based on the available data, though the MOT history is now significantly outdated. The most recent test on 15 January 2022 at 180,628 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the car has not undergone a recorded inspection in over four years relative to the current date of 24 July 2026. This gap creates a high level of uncertainty regarding its current roadworthiness. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year. Between 3 January 2019 and 15 January 2022, the odometer rose from 150,868 to 180,628 miles. The most significant increase occurred between January 2019 and January 2020, where the vehicle covered nearly 15,000 miles in a single year. The record is unusually clean for a car of this vintage, with no advisories or defects noted across five entries. A buyer must treat the lack of recorded faults with caution. It is rare for an 18-year-old Mercedes-Benz with 180,000 miles to show zero advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc wear, or exhaust corrosion. The absence of data suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for several years since 2022. Prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for structural rust and corrosion. Check the condition of the rubber components, including tyres and suspension bushings, as these perish when a vehicle sits idle. Verify the health of the braking system for binding calipers and ensure the engine oil and coolant have been refreshed to avoid drivetrain failure after a long period of inactivity.
