2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · BT62 ODC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a remarkably clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 16 June 2026 at 155,884 miles passed with no defects recorded, maintaining a streak of clean passes over the last five years. This stable trend suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical requirements and prevented the minor faults that typically accumulate on vehicles of this age and mileage. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for the UK, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. Between the May 2022 test at 75,957 miles and the June 2026 test at 155,884 miles, the car covered nearly 80,000 miles, showing steady use rather than long periods of stagnation. The jump of 25,729 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests indicates a period of significantly higher usage, which often helps keep seals lubricated and components free fromrelated corrosion. Despite the lack of recorded MOT failures, a physical inspection should still focus on high-wear areas common to high-mileage Mercedes-Benz E-Class models. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of tearing, as these often degrade after the 150,000-mile mark. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear and the calipers for binding is also prudent, as the MOT only detects these once they reach a failure threshold. A thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion remains necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean digital record.
