2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · J5 BXM

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 3 December 2025 at 78,558 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests show the same clean outcome, indicating no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the observed history. The owner has kept the car to a sound test standard. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,043 miles per year against a 2013 build, a typical figure for the age. The records show 44,182 miles on 22 February 2023, 45,660 miles on 22 November 2023, then a jump to 59,888 miles by 22 November 2024, equating to about 14,200 miles in that year, above the norm but not extreme. A failed test on 21 November 2024 at 59,888 miles was followed by a pass on 22 November 2024 at the same mileage with no defects listed, suggesting the failure was administrative or for a minor item cleared before retest rather than a serious fault. The clean MOT sequence gives no flagged wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still verify in person that the underbody and sills are free from hidden rust, check the condition of tyres and wiper blades as consumables, and confirm the brake calipers are not binding given the low overall use. The one-day fail-pass in November 2024 warrants a glance at the retest paperwork to confirm no outstanding items. Given the sparse but clean record, the car reflects consistent basic upkeep with no evidence of neglected mechanical risk. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to validate the emissions and drivetrain given the periods of low annual cover.
