2015 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · AD51 FAB

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz E presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 43,420 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers across the available history. Mileage sits low for an eleven-year-old vehicle at 43,420 recorded miles, averaging roughly 3,947 miles per year. The record shows 27,436 miles on 21 January 2022 and 27,445 miles on 30 June 2023, indicating the car stood virtually unused for over seventeen months. Distance then rose to 32,600 miles by 4 September 2024 and to 43,420 by the 2025 test, a moderate annual gain of around 10,800 miles. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories, so no wear trends can be drawn from the record itself. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the long static period between 2022 and 2023, as prolonged standing promotes corrosion and perished rubber. The 4 September 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass logged at 32,600 miles with no defects stated, which points to an administrative or presentational anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. No recurring structural or drivetrain concerns appear in the MOT history. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline, though the low and interrupted mileage means component age rather than wear may govern future replacement intervals.
