2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LL13 AEC

As of the most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 65,517 miles, the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy condition. The maintenance trend appears stable across the five-year record, with consecutive passes in 2022, 2023, 2024 and the later 2025 retest, though the intervening failure without listed defects interrupts an otherwise clean history. The odometer shows remarkably low use for a 2013 model. From the April 2022 test at 63,920 miles to the April 2023 test at 64,292 miles the car covered just 372 miles in a year. By April 2024 it recorded 64,837 miles, a 545-mile increment. The May 2025 pass at 65,517 miles reflects only 680 miles since the prior year's test. Such low annual accumulation, roughly 5,040 miles per year overall, suggests extended periods of storage. The sparse record contains no rapid mileage jumps nor concerning gaps beyond the typical annual cycle. Because the DVSA entries flag no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, exhaust emissions or structural corrosion, the mechanical file presents no recurring fault trend. The absence of documented wear does not negate the need for physical inspection. A buyer should still examine brake disc thickness, tyre tread depth and underbody for hidden rust, as low-mileage cars often suffer from perished seals and flat-spotted tyres after standing. The unexplained failure on 29 April 2025 at 65,514 miles demands scrutiny. The previous owner secured a pass thirteen days later with three miles added, implying the defect if any was trivial or procedural. Request the original failure notice. Verify service history aligns with the low mileage. This record points to a lightly used vehicle whose keepers likely performed basic upkeep, but the anomaly warrants confirmation before purchase.
