2015 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · MH65 AAU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-02 at 130,611 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the 2024-11-01 test shows conflicting outcomes—both a pass and a failure recorded on the same date and mileage, which may reflect administrative inconsistency or a technical anomaly. No defects were listed in any test, suggesting no critical mechanical or structural issues were identified in the documented history. The absence of advisories or failures in the majority of tests implies the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. Mileage progression shows a consistent annual average of ~11,874 miles, aligning with typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle. The gap between the 2022-11-14 test (59,436 miles) and 2023-11-18 (72,067 miles) reflects a full year of use, followed by a 11,155-mile increase by 2024-11-01. The extended interval between 2024-11-01 and the 2026-04-02 test—17 months—suggests potential infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which could affect components like tyres, fluids, and battery health. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, limiting insight into specific maintenance practices beyond the recorded pass/fail outcomes. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time without visible defects. The absence of brake-related issues in MOT records does not eliminate the need for a thorough inspection of calipers, discs, and pad wear, as these can develop binding or uneven wear. Structural integrity should be assessed for corrosion, especially in areas prone to road salt exposure. The 2024 failure, though unexplained, warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was a procedural error or an overlooked issue. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound but requires in-person checks to validate the MOT data and identify any latent wear.
