2013 Mercedes-Benz E220 A-Garde CDI Blue-CY S/S A Diesel · RFZ 2490

The vehicle maintains a clean MOT record, with the most recent test on 8 June 2023 at 221,299 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This performance indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the preceding test on 20 June 2022 at 187,255 miles also concluded without any identified issues. The absence of advisories during these two consecutive inspections suggests that the previous owner prioritised essential upkeep, though the lack of an MOT record for the past thirteen months leaves the current roadworthiness status unverified. The recorded mileage of 221,299 miles over thirteen years equates to an average of approximately 17,000 miles per annum, confirming this vehicle has seen heavy motorway usage. A significant jump of 34,044 miles occurred between the 2022 and 2023 tests, demonstrating a period of intense operation. While the clean pass certificates suggest the drivetrain has coped well with this high-mileage accumulation, the lack of testing data since June 2023 means the car has effectively been off the road or untested for over a year, necessitating a fresh inspection to confirm its current condition. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension components and chassis, as high-mileage Mercedes-Benz E-Class models of this era frequently suffer from worn control arm bushes and ball joints. Given the heavy usage, check the brake discs for scoring or thinning and ensure the calipers are not binding, as these parts endure significant stress during high-mileage cycles. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion that may have developed during the recent period of inactivity, and verify that the engine exhibits no signs of oil leaks or cooling system fatigue, which are common areas of concern for the CDI engine at this stage of its service life.
