2011 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · EY11 AFE

The vehicle presently holds a valid MOT pass dated 16 June 2025 at 186,949 miles, with the DVSA record showing no defects or advisories. Across the five tests between June 2023 and June 2025 the maintenance trend is stable, as each examination returned a clean sheet aside from two anomalous fails that logged no faults. The most recent pass confirms the car met roadworthiness standards thirteen months before today's date. Mileage has accumulated at a consistent pace for a 15-year-old executive saloon. The record shows 158,180 miles at the June 2023 test, rising to 173,180 by June 2024 and 186,949 by June 2025. That averages roughly 12,463 miles annually, reflecting regular use rather than prolonged standing. No gaps appear in the annual testing cadence, and the sparse but clean history offers little evidence of neglected consumables. The June 2024 and June 2025 entries each show a fail dated 8 and 10 June followed by a pass days later at near-identical mileages, both with no defects recorded. Such patterns suggest the initial failures stemmed from non-mechanical or administrative causes, and the previous owners secured prompt re-tests. This behaviour indicates a degree of complacency in presentation rather than deferred mechanical repair. Because the tester flagged no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust emissions, the documented history reveals no recurring mechanical trend. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity, subframe rust, binding calipers and tyre condition given the high mileage, but the MOT data alone does not mandate corrective work.
