2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LN63 OAE

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 29 September 2025 at 167,118 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass came on the same day as a failure logged at 167,117 miles with no defects recorded, mirroring an identical pattern in November 2024 where a failure at 149,608 miles preceded a pass at 149,626 miles three days later. These zero-defect failures suggest administrative or presentational issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, and no advisories or defects appear anywhere in the three-year record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 12,855 miles per year against a 2013 registration, placing this Mercedes-Benz E at the high end for its age with 167,118 recorded miles. The record shows 144,289 miles at the November 2023 test, rising to 149,626 by November 2024 and 167,118 by September 2025. That final jump of near 17,500 miles in ten months indicates heavier recent use than the prior yearly average, though the sparse three-entry history leaves gaps that prevent full verification of standing periods or intermediate wear cycles. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high and accelerating mileage, as the clean MOT record does not capture gradual consumable degradation between tests. The repeated same-day fail-pass pairs with no defects logged point to test centre processing errors rather than owner neglect, yet the lack of any advisories across 23,000 miles of recent running warrants scrutiny of structural corrosion and exhaust emissions under real-world conditions. Prior to purchase, confirm the vehicle has not been subject to clocking given the odd one-mile discrepancy between the September 2025 fail and pass entries. Inspect tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and binding calipers in person, since these items fall outside the scope of a defect-free certificate once the vehicle leaves the test bay.
