2011 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · SH60 TZX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 26 October 2023. This test at 44,737 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems met minimum standards at that time. This follows a consistent history of passes, suggesting the vehicle has avoided major failures over the last five recorded inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between October 2019 and October 2023, the car covered only 11,489 miles, reflecting a pattern of light, short-distance use or long periods where the vehicle remained stationary. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid-related issues due to age rather than mechanical stress. The only noted issue in the record occurred on 29 October 2022 at 41,030 miles, where a rear tyre was flagged as worn close to the legal limit and edged. This suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven tyre wear that was subsequently addressed. Given the low usage and age of the Mercedes, a buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of dry rot in the tyres and suspension bushings, which can perish over time regardless of mileage. Additionally, checking for corrosion on the brake discs and structural points is essential, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust and seized calipers if not used frequently.
