2015 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · PK65 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable and positive maintenance profile, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 23 June 2026 at 68,453 miles. This latest inspection recorded no defects, following a consistent string of clean passes since 2024. While the 2023 test initially resulted in a failure due to an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, the subsequent successful retest and subsequent years of clean records indicate that this mechanical issue was addressed promptly and effectively. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 27,561 miles in September 2018 to the current 68,453 miles. A significant jump in mileage occurred between December 2020 and June 2021, where the vehicle covered over 4,500 miles, but the overall pattern suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty driving. The history shows a tendency for consumable items to reach the legal limit, specifically noted in the September 2018 test where three tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit. This suggests that while major mechanical components remain sound, the previous owner may have operated the vehicle on the edge of maintenance requirements for tyres. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the current tyre tread depth and sidewall condition to ensure they match the recent clean MOT results. Given the 2023 suspension arm failure, a thorough check of the front-end suspension geometry and all associated ball joints, bushes, and control arms is advisable. Although no corrosion or brake issues have been flagged in the recent years, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to seized calipers or uneven tyre wear due to infrequent high-speed running. Checking the brake discs for surface pitting and ensuring the suspension components show no signs of play will confirm the integrity of the recent passing grades.
