2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · AF13 GYD

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 11 February 2025 at 118,884 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The prior test on 31 January 2025 recorded a failure at 118,869 miles yet listed no defects, a pattern consistent with an administrative or unlogged rectification rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or component wear were flagged at any stage, indicating the car cleared each examination without notable concern. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a 2013 vehicle, averaging roughly 9,145 miles per year against the 118,884 miles recorded. The jump from 80,880 miles at the June 2022 test to 101,749 miles by October 2023 shows about 20,869 miles in sixteen months, then a slower 17,135 miles to the 2025 tests. A gap exists between June 2022 and October 2023 with no intermediate entry, though the clean pass results suggest no neglected period was captured by the records. Given the absence of flagged defects across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition. The clean MOT lineage offers no warning signs, but at thirteen years old and near 119,000 miles, consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and caliper operation warrant verification beyond the test scope. The January 2025 failure with zero recorded defects implies the previous owner addressed a non-mechanical or documentation issue promptly before the February pass. This behaviour reflects compliant upkeep rather than deferred maintenance, though a viewing should confirm no hidden wear precedes the next test cycle.
