2009 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · SE09 CWK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT pass from 4 January 2024 at 162,172 miles, confirming it met statutory roadworthiness standards at that date. The maintenance trend reads stable across the recorded history, with passes logged on 23 December 2020, 14 December 2021, 17 December 2022 and the recent test. A failure on 3 January 2024 at 162,160 miles shows no defects recorded, an anomaly suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a degrading condition. The 2009 Mercedes-Benz E has covered approximately 9,540 miles per year, aligning with typical usage for its age. Odometer readings climbed from 121,435 miles at the December 2020 test to 147,737 miles by December 2021, a brisk 26,302-mile interval, then eased to 156,089 miles in December 2022 and 162,172 miles in January 2024. This deceleration indicates lighter recent use. The DVSA record stays sparse and clean, with no advisories or faults flagged across any examination. The buyer should commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and caliper binding given the car's seventeen-year lifespan and high mileage. The tester noted no corrosion or structural concerns, yet age-related deterioration often escapes MOT notation. Previous owners sustained annual test compliance but the unexplained same-week fail implies either minor paperwork omission or overlooked item; obtain the full failure certificate. Verify exhaust emissions and underbody structural integrity before purchase.
