2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · HR52 BOY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, evidenced by the successful MOT test on 23 June 2025 at 107,266 miles which resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. The maintenance trend shows an unusual pattern of immediate failures followed by passes within a very short window in both 2024 and 2025. These specific failures occurred just two to four days prior to the passes, suggesting minor, easily rectified issues or administrative errors that were addressed immediately upon inspection rather than a systemic mechanical decline. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's thirteen-year age, averaging approximately 8,250 miles per annum. Between May 2023 at 100,937 miles and June 2024 at 107,140 miles, the car covered roughly 6,200 miles, while the interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests saw only 126 miles driven. This low annual usage in the final year indicates the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can lead to rubber component degradation, brake caliper corrosion, and fluid contamination. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the braking system and suspension, as the low recent mileage often results in seized calipers or perished seals. Check for signs of surface rust on the discs and verify the condition of the way bushes and coil springs. While the history shows no structural advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at the underbody corrosion to ensure the structural integrity has not suffered from neglect during its periods of inactivity.
