2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · GU13 TVJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 25 March 2025 at 149,076 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This stable maintenance trend across the last five years suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing potential mechanical or structural issues before they could trigger test failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per annum. Between August 2021 at 87,181 miles and March 2025 at 149,076 miles, the car covered over 62,000 miles, indicating regular and predictable use. The intervals between tests, generally falling between 18,000 and 20,000 miles apart, show a disciplined approach to scheduling which often helps prevent components like seals and bushings from sitting for excessively long periods, leading to premature degradation. While the digital record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a high-mileage Mercedes E-Class. Given the 149,000-mile mark, the buyer should scrutinise the condition of the control arm bushes and coil springs, as these often fatigue at this distance. Checking for signs of oil leaks around the subframe and verifying the integrity of the brake calipers is also prudent, as the MOT test only identifies significant leaks or binding issues rather than minor weeping.
