2015 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · WN15 ACV

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-06-11 MOT at 54,608 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed, though a 2022-06-08 failure at 41,079 miles noted no defects, raising questions about the test outcome. The absence of recurring mechanical issues across multiple annual inspections suggests consistent maintenance, though the unexplained failure warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 54,608 miles at 11 years old equates to approximately 4,964 annual miles, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation, potentially leading to dry joints in suspension bushes or coil springs, or prolonged inactivity affecting fluid systems. The MOT intervals align with standard annual testing, and the lack of consumable wear entries (e.g., tyres, wipers) implies the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. A buyer should inspect the suspension for stiffness or unusual play, given the low mileage and potential for component degradation during inactivity. The exhaust system and brake discs should be checked for corrosion, as stagnant operation may accelerate rust. While no structural defects or emissions issues were recorded, the 2022 failure without recorded faults necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond MOT documentation.
