2011 Mercedes-Benz E 1.8L Petrol · DC61 OWL

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the May 2025 test pass at 68,897 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass came after two earlier 2025 failures at near-identical mileage, yet the DVSA record lists no defects against those failures, which points to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical fault. No advisories appear on any entry from 2023 through 2025. The odometer shows 58,455 miles in March 2023, rising to 63,828 miles by March 2024 and 68,897 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 5,000 miles per year, low for a 15-year-old 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class and consistent with gentle use or extended standing periods. The jump from 68,896 to 68,897 miles between the March and May 2025 tests shows the car barely moved across those two months. Given the clean record with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition. Low annual mileage and likely prolonged storage can mask perished rubber components, seized calipers, or hidden damp-related rot not caught in a no-defect test. The twin 2025 failures with zero recorded defects warrant confirmation that the V5C and test documentation align before purchase.
