2013 Mercedes E 2.0L Petrol · YS63 BWD

This Mercedes E-Class has a very low mileage for its age, averaging under 3,000 miles per year. While this suggests light use, such low mileage often indicates the car has spent long periods standing, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components. The most recent MOT from March 2026 passed, but the vehicle shows a worsening trend regarding its front suspension. Advisories for worn inner suspension arm pins and bushes have appeared in both 2025 and 2026, suggesting these components are deteriorating and will soon require replacement. A more concerning pattern emerged in February 2025, where the car failed due to multiple worn tyres, mismatched tyre sizes on the same axle, and several missing wheel fixings. This indicates a period of poor maintenance and a lack of attention to basic safety essentials. While the mileage is low, the combination of rubber perishables failing and previous neglect of wheels and tyres suggests the car has not been meticulously maintained. When inspecting the vehicle, prioritize checking the condition of all four tyres for matching sizes and tread depth. Closely examine the front suspension for play or perished bushings and verify that all wheel bolts are present and correctly torqued.
