2015 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Electric diesel · LR65 GGU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 1 November 2025 at 120,797 miles, confirms it remains roadworthy without any recorded defects or advisories. This marks the fifth consecutive annual pass, with no recurring issues or warnings across the past five tests. The absence of advisories suggests the tester did not identify any latent concerns requiring immediate attention, though this does not preclude unseen wear or deferred maintenance. The most recent test occurred just six months ago, placing it within the optimal window for a vehicle of this age and mileage, where structural and critical mechanical components should still be within their expected serviceable lifespan. The mileage progression indicates steady usage, averaging approximately 11,000 miles annually—a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no irregular gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with increments of around 6,000 miles per year, suggesting consistent driving habits rather than prolonged neglect or excessive wear. The recorded mileage of 120,797 miles aligns closely with the vehicle’s 11-year lifespan, implying that major components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain elements have likely endured their expected service life. However, this does not rule out gradual degradation in areas like brake caliper binding or subtle corrosion in underbody panels, which may not always manifest as MOT failures but could affect long-term reliability. Given the lack of advisories or defects in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear areas that often exceed MOT thresholds. Focus on the suspension—particularly the condition of rear coil springs and front/rear bushes, as these are common failure points in Mercedes-Benz models of this era. Examine the brake system for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads, which could indicate past neglect or fluid contamination. Underbody corrosion, especially around the sills and wheel arches, should be assessed, as this can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT consequences. Additionally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related failures are not uncommon in older vehicles despite passing tests. While the MOT record suggests no major red flags, these areas warrant close scrutiny to confirm they have been maintained beyond basic compliance.
