2015 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LM65 AEE

This vehicle presents a remarkably clean MOT record, with five consecutive passes and not a single advisory or defect recorded since October 2021. The most recent test in January 2026 at 184,119 miles confirms the car is currently roadworthy with no flagged concerns. The maintenance trend is stable and appears well-managed, as the tester found no developing issues across a period of over four years. This is an unusually clean history for a high-mileage car and suggests the previous owner addressed faults proactively or kept the vehicle in strong mechanical order. The recorded mileage of 184,119 miles on an eleven-year-old car equates to roughly 16,738 miles per year, which is well above the UK average. The pattern of accumulation is consistent, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps. The largest single-year increase occurred between the October 2021 test at 134,721 miles and the November 2022 test at 152,412 miles, a rise of about 17,691 miles in thirteen months. This steady, high-mileage usage points to regular motorway or long-distance driving, which typically places less strain on the engine and gearbox than stop-start urban work. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection. High mileage at this level means suspension components such as control arm bushes, anti-roll bar links, and shock absorbers are likely near or beyond their service life, even if not yet flagged by an MOT tester. Brake discs and pads may have been replaced routinely, but check for scoring, lip wear, or binding on the rear calipers, a known Mercedes issue. The absence of any corrosion advisories is positive, but examine the subframe, sills, and suspension mounting points for any hidden rust, particularly on a car that has covered this many miles in all weathers. A full service history check is essential to confirm that oil changes, transmission fluid services, and coolant changes were completed on schedule.
