2013 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · YX13 RXC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a clear trend of increasing wear that has not been resolved. The most recent test on 2026-02-27 was passed at 114,725 miles, yet the 2025-03-07 test revealed a nearside rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that the tyre tread has degraded significantly despite the passing score. This progression is not a stable state but rather a worsening condition that requires immediate attention, as the wear rate appears to be accelerating over the last two years. The mileage accumulation is substantial, averaging approximately 57,000 miles per year, which places the vehicle at roughly 13 years old. The test data shows a distinct gap between the 2023-02-10 and 2022-02-11 tests, where the vehicle passed at 102,821 and 98,839 miles respectively, with no recorded defects during these periods. This silence suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped or that the vehicle was driven on a maintenance-free schedule, leading to the rapid accumulation of wear components such as suspension bushings and brake discs. In conclusion, the owner must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the brake discs, suspension components, and exhaust emissions, as the mechanical risks are becoming more critical. The passing of the 2026-02-27 test at 114,725 miles does not negate the worsening trend of tyre wear and impending brake failure, necessitating a full pre-purchase inspection to ensure structural integrity and safety.
