2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LR63 BYO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 8 June 2026 at 115,028 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has addressed mechanical faults identified in previous tests. While the latest report is clean, the history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance where components are replaced only when they reach the point of failure rather than following a strict preventative schedule. At 115,028 miles over thirteen years, the car has averaged approximately 8,850 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an executive saloon of this age. The mileage data shows consistent intervals, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between June 2024 and 2025, and another 5,600 miles in the final year leading to the 2026 test. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat for extended periods, which generally helps prevent seal degradation and fluid contamination. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and braking system following previous failures. The June 2024 failure at 102,386 miles revealed an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint, so a buyer should check the remaining ball joints and bushings for play or perished rubber. Additionally, the June 2025 test at 109,389 miles flagged thin rear brake pads and worn tyres on the nearside front and offside rear. Since these were advisories, you must verify that these components were actually replaced and that the wheel alignment was checked to prevent further uneven tyre wear.
