2011 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · EK11 AFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 17 February 2026 at 150,355 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the odometer rose from 114,180 to 150,355 miles. The most significant jump occurred between February 2025 and February 2026, where the car covered 13,123 miles in a single year. This indicates the vehicle remains in active, regular use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The MOT record is unusually clean for a fifteen year old Mercedes-Benz. The failure on 7 February 2025 was resolved within three days, and the lack of any recorded advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear is atypical for a vehicle with 150,000 miles. While the paperwork suggests a well-kept car, the absence of any flagged wear on consumables over several years may indicate a very lenient testing regime or a vehicle that has had significant preventative maintenance outside of the MOT process. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common age-related failure points that the MOT may have overlooked. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches and inspect the condition of the suspension components for perished rubber. Given the high mileage, a manual check of the brake disc thickness and a review of the service history for gearbox and engine oil changes is recommended to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean MOT record.
