2013 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · CU13 VFT

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz E presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 4 December 2025 at 168,248 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle cleared all statutory checks for lighting, steering, suspension, brakes, and emissions. Prior tests in December 2024, January 2024, December 2022, and January 2022 each passed without fault, showing consistent compliance over a four-year span. Recorded mileage sits high for a thirteen-year-old executive saloon. The odometer climbed from 133,001 miles in January 2022 to 168,248 miles by December 2025, an average of roughly 8,800 miles per year across the recorded window and close to 13,000 miles annually since registration. No gaps appear between tests; the owner kept the annual December-to-January cycle without lapses. The clean sheet across all entries suggests routine servicing was maintained, though the absence of advisories means worn consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes were either replaced before each test or remained within tolerance. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record shows no flagged rust yet high mileage raises the risk on older Mercedes chassis. Examine front suspension arms and bushes for play, and measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation given the car's age and use. Check exhaust emissions and DPF function on the diesel variant if fitted, since long motorway miles can mask intermittent regen faults not caught in a static test. The documented history implies a conscientious keeper who avoided deferred maintenance, but the 168,248-mile figure demands scrutiny of drivetrain wear such as turbo, gearbox, and differential seals. Verify service books against the mileage jumps and confirm timing chain or belt intervals were met. A clean MOT is not a mechanical warranty at this age.
