2018 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · 28 GM

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 24 March 2026 at 30,172 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2023, suggesting the car has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair. The mileage is notably low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,772 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2024 test at 23,451 miles and the March 2025 test at 26,688 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 3,237 miles. The most recent interval saw a slight increase to 3,484 miles. Such low usage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to issues with perished rubber or stagnant fluids. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding faults. A single failure on 24 March 2023 at 22,158 miles was resolved on the same day, and the lack of any subsequent advisories indicates a lack of recurring mechanical issues. There are no recorded instances of corrosion, brake disc wear, or suspension bush degradation across the entire history. A physical inspection should focus on items that deteriorate regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and verify the brake fluid moisture content. Given the low annual mileage, ensure the battery health is optimal and check for any signs of seizing in the brake calipers due to periods of inactivity.
