2013 MERCEDES-BENZ E350 SPORT CDI BLUEEF-CY S/S A3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its latest MOT on 14 December 2025 at 162,621 miles with no recorded defects. This represents a stable maintenance trend following a brief failure in October 2024. The fact that the car secured two consecutive passes in late 2024 and late 2025 without any advisories or defects suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing potential mechanical issues and keeping the vehicle compliant with UK safety standards. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a thirteen-year-old luxury saloon, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per annum. There is a significant period of activity between September 2023 at 145,113 miles and December 2025 at 162,621 miles, where the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles in just twenty months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway use, which typically places less strain on the clutch and gearbox than short-city driving, explaining the lack of minor wear advisories in the 2022 and 2023 tests. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system, as the high mileage increases the likelihood of worn control arm bushes and fatigued coil springs. While the records are clean, the heavy weight of the E-Class necessitates a check for binding brake calipers or thininned discs that could cause vibration under deceleration. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the chassis for early structural corrosion remains essential, despite the absence of structural failures in the recent DVSA history.
