2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LR63 BYN

The vehicle currently presents a concerning roadworthiness status with a worsening trend in reactive maintenance. While it passed its latest test in January 2026 at 92,422 miles, the preceding history reveals a pattern of deferred repairs on critical safety components. The failure in December 2025 at 92,393 miles due to a faulty parking brake ratchet and worn brake de-material indicates that mechanical issues are only being addressed after failing an inspection rather than as part of a preventative service schedule. At 92,422 miles over 13 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,100 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate usage. However, the data shows a significant spike in activity between November 2024 and January 2026, where the car covered over 7,000 miles in just fourteen months. This recent heavy use correlates with the accelerated wear observed on the braking system and tyres, suggesting the vehicle may have been subjected to more demanding driving conditions recently which has led to the rapid depletion of consumables between test intervals. A buyer must personally inspect the braking and suspension systems thoroughly, as the record shows recurring issues with pitted and scored discs across all four wheels. The tester flagged thin pads and worn discs in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, suggesting the hardware is nearing the end of life. The fractured nearside front coil spring and damaged anti-roll bar ball joint identified in late 2024 point to potential underlying wear in the suspension geometry. The buyer should also check for uneven alignment issues, as the repeated reports of inner edge wear on the offside front tyre indicate a persistent fault that has not been professionally rectified.
