2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LM63 VNY

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 January 2026 at 272,323 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows three consecutive clean passes across 2024 and 2025. The record shows no outstanding advisories or recurring mechanical faults, indicating the previous keeper addressed roadworthiness requirements to test standard at each interval. The odometer stands at 272,323 miles against a 2013 registration, equating to roughly 20,948 miles per year and placing this Mercedes-Benz E well above typical annual use for its class. Mileage advanced from 229,435 in July 2024 to 245,609 by January 2025, then to 258,018 by July 2025 and 272,323 by January 2026, a steady ~13,000 to 14,000 miles per six-month period. A single failure on 14 January 2025 at 245,609 miles was followed eight days later by a pass at 245,714 miles with no defects listed, suggesting the rejection concerned a minor or administrative matter rather than structural or mechanical defect. Given the sparse and clean history, the MOT data alone reveals no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake binding, or exhaust emission concerns across the observed timeframe. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of high-mileage consumables not captured by the test, specifically front suspension arms, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and subframe rust protection. The high annual distance implies drivetrain and turbocharger fatigue unseen in a pass certificate. The absence of advisories at 272,323 miles is unusual for a thirteen-year-old executive saloon and may reflect test tolerance rather than showroom condition. Verify service records for gearbox fluid changes and confirm tyre age, as the MOT does not record part-worn fitment between tests.
