2011 Mercedes-Benz E 1.8L Petrol · CT03 DAV

The maintenance trend for this 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is exceptionally stable and reflects meticulous upkeep. The most recent test on 1 July 2025 at 100,135 miles passed with zero defects recorded. A preceding test on 25 June 2025 at 100,065 miles shows a failure, yet the official record lists no defects, suggesting an administrative anomaly or an aborted test rather than a mechanical fault, as the vehicle passed cleanly just one week later. Every annual test since June 2022 has passed without a single advisory or defect, demonstrating a consistent pattern of proactive maintenance. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with light, typical use for a vehicle of this age. Between the June 2022 test at 83,949 miles and the June 2023 test at 90,333 miles, the car covered 6,384 miles. This dropped slightly to 4,939 miles over the following year, and roughly 4,800 miles between June 2024 and July 2025. There are no sudden spikes in accumulation or suspicious gaps in the record that would indicate long periods of inactivity or mileage discrepancies. The current total of 100,135 miles represents an average of approximately 6,676 miles per year, confirming steady, low-intensity usage. Despite the flawless MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential for a 15-year-old executive saloon. The absence of recorded wear does not preclude the need to inspect typical age-related deterioration. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or corrosion, alongside measuring the thickness of the brake discs and pads. The exhaust system and structural underpinnings require a thorough check for corrosion, as these components often degrade invisibly before triggering an MOT failure. Tyre age and uneven wear patterns also warrant attention, given the vehicle's low annual mileage and potential for prolonged standing.
