2004 Mercedes-Benz E 3.2L Diesel · MB04 ACF

This 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class demonstrates an exceptionally clean maintenance trend, securing a straight pass on June 13, 2025, at 90,035 miles with zero defects recorded. The roadworthiness status is currently sound, continuing a flawless compliance record stretching back multiple years. The vehicle displays a remarkably low average mileage accumulation for its age, currently sitting at just over 90,000 miles after 22 years on the road. A closer examination of the timeline reveals steady, low-use driving patterns, showing 3,456 miles between May 2022 and June 2023, followed by 5,897 miles up to June 2024. A significant jump then occurs in the final recorded period, with the car covering 16,947 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This sudden surge in usage represents a notable shift from its previous life as a low-mileage weekend or stored vehicle. While the official MOT records show a complete absence of advisories or failures across the last four tests, a physical inspection must account for the mechanical implications of the recent high-mileage year following a long period of lighter use. Buyers should carefully check the condition of consumable items such as brake discs, pads, and suspension components, which may have experienced accelerated wear during that intensive twelve-month driving period. Particular attention must also be paid to subframe corrosion, rubber suspension bushes, and hydraulic or pneumatic suspension systems typical of this chassis generation, as these can degrade regardless of clean test passes.
