2020 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · J11 EAO

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 25 June 2025 at 46,535 miles, following a failure the previous day. The maintenance trend is currently stable but flagged by a minor recurring wear item. The 2024 and 2023 tests passed cleanly at 37,880 miles and 29,232 miles respectively, indicating a period of defect-free operation. The 2025 failure was confined to consumable components, specifically both front wiper blades failing to clear the windscreen effectively and the offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. These were rectified for the pass, suggesting basic upkeep was addressed promptly rather than ignored. The recorded mileage of 46,535 miles across roughly six years of age equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,756 miles, which sits within a typical range for this class of vehicle. The MOT record shows a notable gap between the June 2023 test at 29,232 miles and the July 2024 test at 37,880 miles, representing an increase of 8,648 miles in just over twelve months. Mileage accumulation then slowed considerably, with only 8,655 miles added between July 2024 and June 2025. No exceptionally large annual jumps are present, and the overall pattern suggests consistent, moderate use rather than prolonged standing or high-intensity motorway work. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the front tyre condition and sidewalls, given the recurring advisory for the offside front tyre wearing on its edge. This wear pattern often points to a minor tracking or alignment issue rather than simple underinflation, so a four-wheel alignment check is advisable. Examine the front suspension bushes and track rod ends for play, as uneven tyre wear can originate from worn steering or suspension linkages. The windscreen wiper failure was rectified for the test, but verifying the condition of the wiper arms and the windscreen glass for scratching or haze is sensible. With no structural corrosion, braking system defects, or emissions faults recorded across the entire history, the mechanical risk profile remains low. The clean 2024 and 2023 certificates support a vehicle that has been kept in reasonable order, with the 2025 defects representing routine consumable replacement rather than underlying mechanical neglect.
