2013 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · AV13 ACU

This vehicle is in an exceptional state of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 5 March 2026 at 61,010 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 4,693 miles per year. The accumulation has remained consistent over the last four years, growing from 53,493 miles in March 2023 to 61,010 miles in March 2026. This steady, low-volume usage indicates the car has not suffered from sudden periods of heavy commercial use or prolonged abandonment. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, showing no advisories for brake wear, suspension bushes, or corrosion across multiple years. Such a pristine record is rare for a thirteen-year-old Mercedes-Benz and suggests a high standard of preventative care. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, tyre cracking due to age rather than tread wear, and potential moisture buildup in the braking system. Check for any signs of seizure in the brake calipers and inspect the battery health, as low annual mileage often leads to premature electrical failure.
