2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · H11 KBR

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-12-22 assessment at 83,282 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, indicating reliable maintenance practices by previous owners. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been operated within acceptable parameters, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,406 miles annually. Tests spaced approximately 12 months apart reveal steady accumulation without significant gaps, implying regular use rather than prolonged inactivity. The 2022-11-15 test at 68,526 miles to the 2025-12-22 test at 83,282 miles reflects a 14,756-mile increase over 37 months, consistent with average annual figures. No irregularities in mileage spikes or pauses are evident, reinforcing the likelihood of consistent, moderate usage. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, a buyer should verify suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time without immediate visible symptoms. Brake systems, including disc wear and caliper function, warrant inspection, as these are common areas for gradual deterioration. Corrosion beneath the vehicle and exhaust system integrity should also be checked, as these can develop unnoticed between tests. The clean MOT record is encouraging but does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase examination of these key areas.
