2015 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · BC15 DMY

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2026‑05‑15 recorded a failure due to deep cuts in the nearside front and rear outer tyres (5.2.3 (d)(i)). The accompanying pass note highlights worn front inner suspension arm pins/bushes (5.3.4 (a)(i)), indicating that the chassis components are approaching replacement thresholds. The pattern of defects from 2025‑05‑13 (fractured rear coil spring) and 2024‑05‑15 (worn, pitted brake discs) shows a worsening trend in both tyre condition and suspension/brake wear. Mileage accumulation has slowed markedly over the past four years. Between 2022‑05‑09 (54 726 mi) and 2026‑05‑15 (70 467 mi) the car gained only 15 741 mi, averaging roughly 3 900 mi per year—well below the earlier 6 400 mi/year observed between 2018 and 2022. The annual MOT intervals remain consistent, but the reduced mileage suggests lighter usage or periods of storage rather than intensive service. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls for cuts or ply exposure, verify that the front inner suspension arms show no excessive play, and examine the rear coil spring for fracture or damage. Brake discs should be checked for pitting and wear, while rear brake pads need measurement to ensure they are not thin. The child‑seat belt mounting areas should be inspected for full belt visibility, and any window damage should be assessed for structural integrity. Finally, review the service history for any remedial work on the suspension and brake systems, as recurring issues indicate those components may require attention soon.
