2011 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · W4 DRM

The vehicle presents a strong level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent inspection on 6 October 2025 at 118,478 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements. This follows a period of clean passes in early 2025 and 2024, suggesting that the current owner is proactively addressing any developing issues before they become failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 15,000 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, followed by a more rapid accumulation of nearly 4,000 miles in the months leading to the October 2025 test. This usage suggests the car is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for rubber components, seals, and braking systems to prevent seizing and corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity on older Mercedes. While the recent history is remarkably clean, the failure recorded on 13 December 2022 at 86,150 miles warrants a closer look during a physical inspection. Since the vehicle passed just four days later without further defects, the fault was likely a minor consumable item or a lighting adjustment that was easily rectified. Given the age and mileage, a buyer should still specifically inspect the structural integrity of the chassis for correlated corrosion and check the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on this model as they approach the 120,000-mile mark.
