2013 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · HN63 AEM

The vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance record over the past three years, with the most recent 2025-12-01 MOT at 92,125 miles confirming no defects. Prior tests from 2024-12-10 (86,688 miles), 2023-11-20 (80,197 miles), and 2022-11-28 (73,699 miles) also showed no issues, indicating consistent upkeep. However, a failed 2022-10-31 test at 73,602 miles recorded no defects, raising questions about the accuracy of that result. The absence of recurring mechanical faults suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the failed test warrants scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,087 miles annually. Tests occur roughly yearly, with minimal gaps between assessments, reflecting regular servicing. The 2022-10-31 failure occurred just three weeks before a subsequent pass at 73,699 miles, implying potential administrative error or transient issues resolved swiftly. No significant mileage spikes or extended inactivity periods are evident, suggesting consistent operation rather than prolonged storage. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushings, which may degrade over time without MOT scrutiny. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can develop gradually. Structural integrity remains unaddressed in the record, so a thorough underbody inspection for rust or panel damage is advised. The lack of defects in recent tests supports reliability, but the 2022 failure highlights the importance of verifying service history and conducting a pre-purchase inspection for hidden issues.
