2015 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · RF65 MYK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2024 with 367,591 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of mechanical concern in early 2023, as the last three tests resulted in passes with no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical issues once they are identified during the testing process. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging over 33,000 miles per year. Between January 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 79,859 miles in less than two years, indicating intensive long-distance use, likely consisting of motorway driving. This rate of accumulation places significant strain on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system, though the lack of recent advisories suggests these systems have been maintained despite the heavy workload. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the braking system, as the failure in January 2023 at 287,732 miles revealed significant parking brake efficiency issues and inoperable components on both sides. While these were reportedly rectified, the high mileage increases the likelihood of worn calipers or thin brake discs. The physical inspection should also check for structural corrosion and premature wear on the suspension geometry, as the consistent high-mileage often accelerates the degradation of rubber components and metal joints.
