2009 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · GY59 FUE

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz E presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 8 November 2025 at 82,765 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the most recent three passes showing no advisories or faults. Prior to that, the vehicle failed twice in late 2024, but those failures carried no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical deterioration. Recorded mileage sits at 82,765 against an age of roughly 17 years, averaging about 4,869 miles per year. The car covered 9,174 miles between the November 2023 test at 64,729 miles and the November 2024 test at 73,903 miles, then added 8,862 miles to the November 2025 pass. This low annual use suggests light running, though the two 2024 failures clustered within three weeks at near-identical mileages imply the owner deferred a retest rather than addressing a fault. The absence of any advisories across five tests means the official record shows no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the underbody for rust, check brake caliper operation after the long standing periods implied by low mileage, and verify the exhaust emissions system, since none of these areas were tested to failure. Given the clean recent history and low yearly distance, the vehicle appears to have received basic statutory upkeep. The unexplained 2024 failures warrant a request for the original test refusal sheets, as DVSA systems logged no defect rationale on those dates.
