2004 Mercedes E 3.2L Diesel · BN04 AFZ

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status as of the 14 January 2026 test at 151,491 miles, where the DVSA recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the recent record, with clean passes in January 2025 at 147,685 miles and January 2024 at 143,965 miles. A failed entry on 8 January 2024 at 143,957 miles and another failed entry on 14 January 2026 at 151,491 miles both show no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentational test issues rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, averaging roughly 6,886 miles per year against the 151,491 miles recorded. The gap between the January 2024 pass at 143,965 miles and the January 2025 pass at 147,685 miles reflects about 3,720 miles covered, with a similar 3,806 miles added to the January 2026 pass. The record is sparse and clean, showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the available tests. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's 22-year age and 151,491 miles. The absence of recorded advisories does not rule out worn coil springs, degraded suspension bushes, or binding calipers that a short MOT may not capture. The repeated fail entries with no defects suggest the previous owner used the test lane for reissues or corrections rather than addressing outstanding work. Verify the V5C and full service history to confirm the odometer and ownership care before purchase.
