2011 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · BN61 FFY

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 24 November 2025 at 74,320 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 4,955 miles per year. The distance covered between the November 2022 test at 66,533 miles and the November 2025 test at 74,320 miles shows a steady, low-intensity usage pattern of approximately 2,600 miles per annum over the last three years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or significant periods of neglect. The record shows a single failure on 9 November 2022, though the tester recorded no specific defects, and the vehicle passed six days later at 66,529 miles. This suggests a minor administrative or easily rectifiable issue rather than a systemic mechanical fault. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks, there is no evidence of the typical wear associated with high-mileage E-Class models. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, tyre flat-spotting, or brake caliper seizing due to inactivity. Check for signs of moisture in the brake fluid and inspect the chassis for surface corrosion, as the lack of MOT-flagged rust does not rule out cosmetic or non-structural oxidation common to vehicles of this age.
