Our Verdict
A solid consideration for long-distance
Given the high mileage of 125,150 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history, particularly regarding the 2.9L diesel engine's maintenance requirements. Ensure that oil changes have been performed at appropriate intervals to protect the turbocharger and timing components.
When inspecting this specific white E-Class, check the condition of the suspension components. While the 2023 MOT noted deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers, you should verify that these and other suspension elements have been thoroughly inspected recently. Additionally, check the brake discs and pads, as the 2021 record indicated nearside front pad wear.
As a 2987cc diesel, this vehicle is designed for efficient motorway cruising, though running costs will be influenced by its larger engine displacement. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a premium executive diesel, though actual figures will depend on load and driving style.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 E-Class can vary, but the large engine size often places it in a mid-to-high insurance bracket. Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles tend to be higher than for mass-market brands, especially for specialized components like suspension or diesel emissions systems. An estimated annual running cost of £1,400-£1,800 is reasonable, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The MOT history shows a history of issues in these areas, specifically the front anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers in 2023 and brake pad wear in 2021. Ensure there are no unusual knocks or rattles when driving over uneven surfaces.
Because this is a high-mileage diesel, inspect the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks and listen for any irregular diesel engine clatter. Check the condition of the tyres, as 'tyre' is noted as a top failure reason for this model aggregate, and ensure the tread depth is sufficient across all four wheels.
This 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, powered by a 2.9L diesel engine, has covered 125,150 miles as of its March 2026 MOT. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 9,120 per year, the recent MOT history shows three consecutive passes with no defects recorded since early 2024. The vehicle's history includes minor wear-and-tear issues, such as brake pad wear and suspension dust cover deterioration, which have since been addressed.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class shows an 83.8% average MOT pass rate across 255,038 analysed vehicles, with common failures relating to tyres, suspension, and brakes.
