2013 Mercedes-Benz E250 AMG Sport CDI Auto 2.1L Heavy oil · AF63 BWJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 25 October 2025 at 114,914 miles, indicating a clean bill of health with no recorded defects or advisories. While the car passed its most recent inspections, the pattern of failing an initial test before passing shortly thereafter in both 2024 and 2025 suggests a reactive approach to maintenance. The lack of documented advisories in the history is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, implying that the testing stations may have conducted minimal reporting or that the owner performed rapid rectifications between the failure and the retest to clear the record. The recorded mileage of 114,914 miles over thirteen years equates to an average of approximately 8,840 miles per annum, which sits well within the expected usage parameters for a diesel executive saloon. A significant jump in usage occurred between January 2023 and August 2024, where the vehicle covered nearly 20,000 miles in roughly nineteen months. This acceleration in mileage suggests the car has transitioned from light urban use to more consistent motorway duty, which generally places less strain on the drivetrain but increases the rate of wear on high-speed consumables like tyres and cooling system components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as the clean MOT history masks the natural degradation expected at this mileage. Check the condition of the rear subframe for signs of corrosion, a known issue on this platform, and verify the operation of the air suspension if equipped. Given the history of failed tests followed by immediate passes, inspect the brake discs and pads for recent replacement evidence and look for any fluid leaks around the engine bay or transmission housing. Ensure the service history documentation corroborates the MOT record, as the absence of advisories does not guarantee the absence of underlying mechanical wear.
