2011 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · AC02 ALS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 33,835 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. This trend suggests a consistent level of maintenance, as the vehicle has avoided major mechanical-related failures or structural failures over the last five years of testing. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,256 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the car covered only 2,985 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary or minimal use. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to degradation of rubber-based parts such as seals, bushes, and tyres. The data intervals between tests are regular, showing the owner has followed the annual inspection schedule. A single minor concern appeared in the November 2023 test at 32,360 miles, where the offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit. This specific fault often indicates an alignment issue or uneven suspension wear, though the lack of repeat advisories in subsequent tests suggests this was addressed. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for flat spotting or cracking due to age, which is common in low mileage cars. Given the low usage, it is also vital to check for brake disc corrosion and seized calipers, as these components frequently suffer when a vehicle sits for extended periods without regular use.
