2013 Mercedes-Benz E250 SPT CDI Blueefi-CY A 2.1L Heavy oil · LC62 ACV

This Mercedes-Benz E250 CDI has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across the last five tests, most recently on 21 January 2026 at 76,749 miles. The absence of advisories or failings over this period suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, servicing. However, the most recent test occurred just six months ago, which is within the standard 12-month MOT cycle, though slightly earlier than the typical 11–12 months for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The lack of any recurring issues implies that major components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers—have not required intervention, though this does not preclude wear that hasn’t yet reached MOT failure thresholds. The recorded mileage of 76,749 miles over 13 years indicates exceptionally light usage, averaging just under 6,000 miles annually. This pattern is unusual for a vehicle of this age, as such low mileage often correlates with either minimal driving or prolonged periods of storage. Notably, the mileage increments between tests are consistent, with roughly 3,500 miles accrued between each annual MOT—suggesting the vehicle has not been left unused for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on high-stress components like brakes and drivetrain, it can also indicate deferred maintenance if the vehicle has been stored without proper care, potentially leading to issues like seized suspension joints or degraded fluids. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of critical wear items that exceed MOT test thresholds. The suspension—particularly rear bushes and shock absorbers—should be checked for excessive play or fluid leakage, as these are common points of failure in high-mileage diesel engines. Brake discs and pads, though not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has experienced sudden stops or hard braking. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the sills and wheel arches, is also essential, given the vehicle’s age; rust can compromise the chassis even if not yet visible. Finally, the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust emissions system should be inspected, as these are prone to clogging in low-mileage, stop-start driving conditions. The absence of MOT faults does not guarantee these areas are flawless, but it does indicate they have not yet reached failure levels.
