2011 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · PK11 BOH

A consistently clean MOT record across seven consecutive years points to a stable road‑worthiness profile, with the most recent test on 4 September 2026 confirming a pass and no recorded defects. The only deviation in the history is a single advisory in August 2019 noting a near‑side rear nail in the tyre, which was apparently resolved as no further issues have been logged. At 122,360 mi the car averages roughly 8,150 mi per annum, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within typical usage for a fifteen‑year‑old Mercedes‑Benz E‑Class. Annual testing has been uninterrupted, indicating the vehicle has been kept on the road without prolonged storage periods; this steady accumulation suggests wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components will be in line with normal age‑related degradation rather than accelerated by unusually high mileage spikes. When inspecting the car, give particular attention to the rear‑right tyre and wheel assembly that triggered the 2019 advisory. Verify that the tyre is free of puncture damage, sidewall cuts or embedded debris, and confirm that the tread depth is even and meets legal limits. Rotate the tyre and feel for any wobble or vibration at speed, which could indicate a compromised wheel rim or imbalance caused by the previous nail. While the MOT record shows no other faults, a prudent test drive should also include listening for any unusual noises over bumps (which could reveal worn suspension bushes) and checking that the brake pedal feels firm and the vehicle tracks straight, as these are common wear points on a vehicle of this age even though they have not yet been flagged by the MOT.
