2011 Mercedes-Benz E 1.8L Petrol · FUS 139S

A pattern of recurring brake system degradation and specific tyre wear defines the mechanical record of this vehicle, which passed its latest test on 10 September 2025. The history shows a trend of deteriorating consumables and persistent corrosion, specifically regarding the offside rear brake pipe and front braking components, with these defects appearing across multiple testing cycles. With 103,952 miles recorded over approximately fifteen years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,930 miles per year. This level of usage is typical for its age, meaning that while it has avoided the extreme wear associated with high-mileage motorway use, it has likely been subjected to standard urban and suburban cycles that contribute to the gradual wear of suspension bushings and braking systems seen in the records. Immediate attention is required for the braking system, as the offside rear brake pipe has been flagged for corrosion in both 2023 and 2025, and the front pads and discs are now recorded as worn. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any lack of pedal firmness or inconsistent braking pressure. The recurring advisory for the offside rear tyre being worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven camber; this should be checked by observing the tyre tread for irregular wear patterns and feeling for any steering pull or instability at cruising speeds.
