2011 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · LO11 EYM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing inspections in recent years. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 110,123 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just seven miles prior. This pattern suggests that any mechanical or safety issues identified during the testing were immediately rectified before the retest, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining legal roadworthiness standards despite the initial test failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 101,821 miles and the October 2024 test at 106,299 miles, the car covered 4,478 miles, while another 3,824 miles were recorded in the following year up to the 2025 test. This steady usage suggests moderate operation rather than heavy strain, which typically preserves the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. While the record shows clean passes recently, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation in this Mercedes model. Given the low mileage relative to age, inspect rubber components such as suspension bushes and air bellows for cracking or perish, as these can dry out without high mileage. The buyer should also check the brake discs for corrosion and the structural integrity of the underbody, as the recurring failures without recorded defects suggest the tester may have flagged specific minor items that required immediate attention.
