2015 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · DA65 BZT

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz E presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 163,859 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in July 2024 at 146,035 miles and June 2023 at 129,493 miles also passed clean. The upkeep pattern shows consistency rather than decline, and the only blemish is a failed test on 15 June 2023 at 129,248 miles that recorded no defects, followed two days later by a pass at 129,493 miles, indicating an administrative or retest correction rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage stands at 163,859 over roughly eleven years, averaging 14,896 per year, which is high for the model age and points to sustained motorway or business use. The gap between the June 2022 pass at 113,408 miles and the June 2023 figures shows about 16,000 miles added in a year, with similar annual accumulation through to 2025. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, showing no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions concerns across the visible record, so the history alone gives no warning of neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high annual mileage, as these items face accelerated fatigue even when MOT tests show clean. The twin June 2023 entries suggest the vehicle changed hands or sat idle briefly; verify the V5C and service book to confirm routine oil and transmission servicing kept pace with the 14k-plus annual load. No structural rust, binding calipers, or exhaust faults appear in the official record, but the age and 163,859 miles mean underseal condition and subframe integrity warrant a ramp check before purchase. The clean test stream implies previous owners met minimum legal standards, yet high mileage Mercedes diesel drivetrains demand evidence of cambelt and gearbox maintenance absent from MOT data alone.
