2015 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · M26 VEE

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 15 December 2025 at 139,582 miles with no recorded defects. Earlier failures on front brake discs (6 December 2022) and on wheel bearings (10 December 2020, 20 December 2019) have not recurred, indicating a stabilising maintenance pattern after corrective work. Mileage has risen from 60,404 miles in May 2018 to 139,582 miles in December 2025, averaging roughly 12,700 miles per year. The progression is steady, with no prolonged gaps between tests, suggesting the car has been driven consistently rather than stored for extended periods. This mileage level is above average for a 2015 model, implying accelerated wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front brake system, confirming that the previously weakened disc has been replaced and that pads and calipers are free from binding. The history of slight play in both front wheel bearings warrants a tactile check for any grinding or looseness, and a visual inspection of bearing housings for corrosion. Tyre condition should be examined for tread depth and any signs of ply exposure, especially on the near‑side front tyre that previously failed. Verify parking‑brake engagement meets the required efficiency and inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of fatigue or excessive wear, as these elements have not been flagged but are prone to degradation at the current mileage.
