2013 MERCEDES-BENZ E2.1L Diesel

The vehicle presents a clean MOT history with the most recent test on 6 December 2025 at 202,067 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend across the recorded period, with no advisories or failures flagged in any examination. The December 2025 result confirms the Mercedes-Benz E remained structurally sound and mechanically compliant some seven months before the current date. Mileage stands at 202,067 over approximately thirteen years, averaging 15,544 miles per year, a high but consistent annual use for a 2013 executive saloon. The records show a gap between the 2 December 2020 test at 153,692 miles and the 16 December 2021 test at 168,242 miles, representing roughly 14,550 miles in that year, then a longer interval to 23 February 2023 at 182,554 miles covering about 14,312 miles across fourteen months. Subsequent tests in December 2024 at 193,827 miles and December 2025 at 202,067 miles show steady annual increments near 11,000 and 8,240 miles respectively. The sparse but unbroken pass record suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided statutory defects, though the low frequency of tests before 2023 leaves limited visibility of interim condition. With no historical advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of high-mileage wear components. The tester recorded no binding calipers or exhaust emissions failures, yet at 202,067 miles the drivetrain mounts, steering linkages, and subframe integrity warrant physical checks for fatigue. A Mercedes of this age and distance may conceal minor oil seepage or bush degradation not captured by a pass result. Prospective owners should verify service documentation alongside the MOT passes. The absence of flagged structural rust in the official record does not exempt the sills and suspension arms from moisture-induced decay common on older vehicles. A pre-purchase examination by a marque specialist remains prudent given the accumulated mileage.
