2007 MERCEDES E2.1L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in maintenance standards. The most recent inspection on 4 December 2025 at 133,361 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following a series of clean passes in 2022, 2023, and 2024. This suggests that the current owner has proactively addressed previous mechanical and consumable concerns. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between November 2021 and December 2025, the car covered 4,994 miles, indicating steady and relatively low usage rather than long periods of stationary neglect. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on drivetrain components, though it also means the vehicle has spent significant exposed to environmental factors, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion. The record from the November 2021 test at 128,367 miles highlights a past lapse in basic upkeep, flagging both rear tyres and thin rear brake pads as advisories. While these issues appear resolved as evidenced by subsequent clean tests, a buyer should still inspect the rear brake assembly for uneven wear or seized calipers. Given the age of the Mercedes, a physical inspection should also focus on the structural integrity of the chassis for rust and the condition of the suspension bushes, as these are common failure points for this era that are not always captured in a standard MOT test.
