2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Electric diesel · LR13 JXB

Based on the DVSA records, the vehicle’s most recent MOT in January 2022 returned a clean pass with no defects at 210,367 miles. The maintenance trend appears superficially stable, as every test since 2018 has recorded zero advisory or failure items. However, the absence of any MOT activity for over four years—the last test was in January 2022—raises immediate concern about its current roadworthiness and whether it has been in regular use or stored off-road. The mileage pattern is deeply inconsistent and warrants scrutiny. In January 2018 the odometer read 303,477 miles, rising to 322,242 by April 2020. That is a gain of roughly 18,765 miles in just over two years, consistent with heavy use. Yet by January 2022 the recorded mileage had fallen to 210,367, a drop of over 111,000 miles. This is not physically possible without odometer tampering or a significant clerical error. A buyer must treat the displayed mileage as unreliable and request independent verification of the true distance covered. Given the clean MOT history, no recurring mechanical faults are flagged. However, the high mileage indicated in earlier tests—over 300,000 miles by 2020—implies substantial wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and drivetrain components. A buyer should arrange a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on engine compression, gearbox behaviour, and structural corrosion, particularly around subframes and sills. The lack of recent MOT data means the vehicle’s current condition is entirely unverified.
