2011 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · EK11 ADX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean result of its most recent inspection. The latest MOT test conducted in November 2022 at 176,571 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. While a failure was noted in October 2021, the immediate subsequent pass on the same day suggests the necessary repairs were rectified promptly without any recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a German saloon of this age, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per annum. Between April 2019 at 111,575 miles and November 2020 at 139,954 miles, the car covered over 28,000 miles, indicating a period of high usage. The interval of 21,441 miles covered between October 2021 and November 2022 shows a sustained rate of operation. However, because the last recorded test occurred over three years ago as of July 2026, the current roadworthiness status of the vehicle is unknown and the MOT is likely expired. Given the high mileage and the lapse since the last inspection, a buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components prone to degradation over time. Focus on the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of wear or cracking, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Mercedes models. The buyer should also check for brake caliper binding or thinning discs and inspect the structural integrity of the chassis for any signs of corrosion. Since no defects were recorded for several years, verifying the current state of the rubber components and the exhaust system is critical to ensure no significant issues have developed since the 2022 test.
