2015 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · VO65 ACF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-09 confirming no defects at 112,783 miles. However, a failed test on 2024-10-22 at the same mileage raises questions about procedural consistency, as no defects were recorded for either the failed or subsequent pass on 2024-10-23. This suggests either a technical error or an unresolved issue that was not documented. The absence of defects in the 2023-2025 tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was aFalse positive or an undiagnosed concern. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 11-year-old vehicle, averaging 10,253 miles annually. A one-year gap between the 2023-09-26 test (96,214 miles) and 2024-10-22 test (105,307 miles) reflects steady but not excessive wear. The lack of recurring defects in the MOT history implies consistent upkeep, though the 2024 failure at identical mileage undermines confidence in the testing process. No significant spikes or drops in mileage suggest the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme usage patterns. A buyer should verify the condition of the exhaust system and emissions components, as the 2024 failure may relate to these areas despite no defects being listed. Suspension bushes, brake discs, and corrosion should also be inspected, as these are common wear points for vehicles of this age. The absence of structural integrity issues in the records is reassuring, but the inconsistent MOT outcome necessitates a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical reliability.
