2011 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · FP11 OEB

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 121,514 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from February 2023 to February 2025 also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year record, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred repairs. Recorded mileage sits at 121,514 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 8,100 miles per year which is typical for the age. The tests show steady annual use: 106,432 miles in February 2023, 112,930 in February 2024, 116,512 in February 2025, and 121,514 in February 2026. A single anomaly appears on 15 February 2024 when the car failed at 112,886 miles, yet the retest one day later at 112,930 miles passed with no defects listed. The DVSA entry records no defects against either the failure or the pass, so the reject cause is undocumented in the supplied data. Given the clean sheet across four passes and one unexplained fail, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as a 15-year-old Mercedes is prone to hidden rust even when MOT advisories are absent. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant physical measurement despite no binding or wear being flagged. The undocumented February 2024 failure justifies checking with the prior owner or test centre for the reject reason, since a same-day retest with no recorded defect suggests either a clerical error or a rectified consumable such as a wiper blade or lamp.
