2015 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · KM65 VFA

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz E presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 September 2025 at 74,088 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from October 2022 through September 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 17 October 2022 at 54,195 miles, retested and passed two days later on 19 October 2022 at the same mileage with no defects listed, indicating a minor or administrative rejection rather than a serious mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for an 11-year-old vehicle. The record shows 54,195 miles in October 2022, rising to 61,351 by October 2023, 67,661 by September 2024, and 74,088 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 6,400 to 6,700 miles per year, with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. The sparse but clean history suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a reasonable standard, though the lack of advisories across four years is unusual for a Mercedes of this age and warrants physical verification. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of any recorded advisories. The October 2022 fail with no defects noted may reflect a documentation or emissions-readiness issue rather than worn components, but the two-day turnaround implies no rectification work was needed. Given the clean pass record, focus the viewing on structural integrity and hidden corrosion beneath sills and arches, plus tyre sidewall condition and exhaust emissions under load. The low annual mileage means consumables like wiper blades and tyres may have aged rather than worn, so check date codes and rubber condition before purchase.
