2011 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LL61 LBK

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 August 2025 at 106,263 miles with no defects recorded. The history shows a consistent pattern of immediate rectification following test failures, as seen in both 2024 and 2025 where failures occurred just miles before a pass. This suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical issues to maintain legal compliance, and the overall trend indicates clean maintenance over the last two years. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the August 2023 test at 90,338 miles and the September 2024 test at 99,880 miles, the car covered 9,542 miles, followed by another 6,383 miles in the year leading up to the August 2025 test. This steady usage pattern reflects light driving which typically reduces the strain on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage commuter vehicles. Despite the clean records in the recent passes, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common Mercedes-Benz wear points for this era. Given the age of the vehicle, focus on checking the structural integrity of the subframe and mounting points for corrosion, as the MOT only flags rust once it becomes structural. You should also inspect the rubber suspension components for cracking and check for signs of binding brake calipers, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from seized components due to degradation regardless of the lack of mileage.
