Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
Before purchasing, you should verify if the repairs noted in the May 2026 MOT failure—specifically the nearside and offside rear coil springs and shock absorbers—have been completed and documented. Do not assume the 'Pass' on 29/05/2026 means the car is in perfect condition; it simply means the specific failures noted were addressed or the vehicle met the minimum standard at that moment.
Ask the seller for evidence of the work carried out to rectify the fractured coil springs and the reduced damping in the rear shocks. Given the mileage is over 100,000, you should also request a detailed service history to ensure the 2.1L diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer schedules, particularly regarding timing components and oil changes.
As a 2143cc diesel, this E-Class is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will be influenced by its weight and engine size. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized executive diesel.
Insurance groups for this model vary depending on the specific trim level, but expect a mid-to-high group. Maintenance costs on a Mercedes-Benz of this age and mileage can be significant, especially regarding suspension components and tyres, which have already appeared as MOT failure points. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, fall in the middle range for this class of vehicle.
A thorough inspection of the suspension system is critical. The MOT history specifically highlights failures regarding nearside and offside rear coil springs being fractured, as well as reduced damping in the rear shock absorbers. Check for any signs of leaking fluid from the dampers or uneven tyre wear which could indicate lingering suspension issues.
Additionally, inspect the tyres carefully. The May 2026 record noted a front outer tyre with a damaged or perishing sidewall. Check all four tyres for similar signs of age-related cracking or damage. Finally, ensure the parking brake is fully functional, as this was a recorded failure in May 2024.
This 2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class diesel has covered 108,669 miles since its first registration in November 2015. The MOT history shows a pattern of intermittent failures, most recently in May 2026 involving shock absorbers, coil springs, and a tyre. While the 2024 and 2025 tests were passed without defects, the sudden appearance of multiple suspension issues in the latest record suggests wear that needs addressing.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Mercedes-Benz E-Class model.
