2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · GL13 ACF

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT on 2021-10-19 at 173,349 miles, with a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. This outcome suggests a worsening trend in maintenance, as the same issue has recurred since the 2020-10-20 test, where no defects were recorded. However, it is worth noting that the vehicle has passed all subsequent MOTs since then without major issues, indicating some level of upkeep. The recorded mileage of 173,349 miles at the time of the 2021 MOT is high for a vehicle of this age, with an average annual mileage of approximately 13,335 miles. This is significantly higher than the average annual mileage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting that the vehicle has been subjected to heavy use. Notably, there is a large gap in mileage accumulation between 2018-04-09 (112,185 miles) and 2019-10-03 (162,936 miles), with a rapid increase of 50,751 miles in just 18 months. This rapid mileage accumulation may indicate periods of heavy use or neglect. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's tyres closely, as the nearside front tyre has been worn close to the legal limit in the past. Additionally, the vehicle's braking system should be checked for any signs of wear or damage, particularly the rear brakes, which have been flagged as binding in the past. The vehicle's suspension should also be inspected for any signs of wear or damage, particularly the front suspension bushes, which may be affected by the vehicle's high mileage. Furthermore, the vehicle's exhaust emissions should be checked to ensure they are within acceptable limits, and any signs of corrosion or structural damage should be investigated.
