2015 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LP15 AEM

The Mercedes-Benz E presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 118,849 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every pass showing clean results and no advisories logged for wear items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion. Mileage data reveals an irregular usage pattern for an 11-year-old vehicle. The May 2024 test at 84,540 miles and June 2023 at 81,796 miles suggest low annual cover of roughly 2,700 miles across that span. The June 2025 pass then shows 133,523 miles, a jump of nearly 49,000 miles in thirteen months, before the September 2025 reading drops to 118,849 miles. That reversal indicates a likely odometer or recording error in the June 2025 entry rather than genuine use. On the clean records supplied, no recurring mechanical faults or consumable neglect such as tyre tread or wiper wear was flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the vehicle's age and the unexplained mileage discrepancy. The September 2025 failure at 118,683 miles with no defects recorded points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect, but the prior high-mileage anomaly warrants verification of the cluster and service history. Given the sparse, clean MOT trail, focus physical checks on coil springs, binding calipers, and exhaust emissions during a road test. The absence of advisories across five tests implies previous owners addressed issues before each test, yet the odd mileage swing means provenance papers must be reconciled before purchase.
