2011 Mercedes-Benz E 1.8L Petrol · FT11 JFE

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 67,423 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result on 23 May 2024 at 65,385 miles, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a high standard. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 4,495 miles per year. A significant gap exists in the records between July 2018 and May 2024. During this period, the vehicle covered 28,894 miles, moving from 36,491 to 65,385 miles. This indicates a period of moderate use followed by very low usage in the last two years, with only 2,038 miles added between the 2024 and 2025 tests. While the lack of MOT failures and advisories is positive, the low annual mileage and long periods of potential inactivity raise specific concerns. A buyer should check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack due to age rather than wear. Brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, a common issue when vehicles stand for extended periods. The absence of recorded structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures is encouraging for a car of this vintage. However, given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should confirm that the oil and other essential fluids have been changed regardless of the low mileage. Focus on the condition of the battery and the smoothness of the drivetrain to ensure the car has not suffered from the effects of prolonged stagnation.
