2011 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · DA11 NBE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 4 April 2023 at 136,421 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following two earlier clean passes in September 2022 at 135,388 miles and September 2021 at 128,488 miles. Across this three-year span the DVSA record shows no advisories, no failures, and no flagged wear on brakes, suspension, steering, or structural components. Mileage accumulation sits within typical bounds for a 2011 Mercedes-Benz E now approaching fifteen years of age. The car covered roughly 6,900 miles between the September 2021 test and September 2022 test, then only 1,033 miles up to April 2023. Annual averages across the recorded period land near 9,095 miles, consistent with moderate use. The sparse history of just three entries means longer gaps before 2021 remain unverified, but the data we hold shows no rapid accumulation or sudden dormant periods that would hint at neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess. The clean record gives no cause to suspect failing coil springs, corroded subframes, or binding calipers, yet at 136,421 miles the original suspension bushes and brake discs may be nearing natural service limits despite never triggering an advisory. Given the absence of any recorded faults, previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a basic passing standard. Verify service history paperwork alongside the physical condition of tyres, exhaust emissions under load, and underbody structural integrity before purchase.
