2011 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · EK11 AOR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record over the last three annual cycles. Since the most recent test conducted in July 2022 at 111,999 miles, the car passed without any defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified back in 2019 were addressed and that the vehicle has maintained a consistent level of compliance with safety standards for the past several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between May 2019 and July 2022, the car covered 12,612 miles, suggesting regular low-distance use. However, there is a significant data gap following the last recorded MOT in July 2022. Given that the current date is June 2026, the vehicle is nearly four years overdue for a formal inspection, which leaves the current mechanical condition unverified despite the relatively low recorded mileage. A buyer should focus inspection on the front suspension assembly, as the 2019 test previously flagged play in both front wheel bearings and uneven tyre wear. While these were resolved in subsequent tests, the age of the vehicle suggests that rubber bushings and seals may be nearing the end of their functional life. A physical check of the chassis for corrosion is also essential, as older Mercedes-Benz models are prone to structural rust that does not always appear on an MOT record until it becomes a critical failure.
