Our Verdict
A strong executive diesel option with a
When reviewing this vehicle, prioritise the service history for the 2987cc diesel engine, specifically looking for evidence of regular oil changes and DPF maintenance. Given the February 2025 MOT failure for both front and rear brake pads, confirm that these were replaced with quality components rather than just patched.
Negotiate based on the current advisories; the windscreen crack and the nearside rear tyre cut noted in January 2026 will require immediate attention to avoid future failure. Also, check if the 'slight play' in the front lower suspension arm ball joints noted in 2023 was ever formally repaired, as this is a known weak point for this model.
The 3.0L diesel engine provides significant power but carries higher running costs than smaller variants. You should expect higher annual road tax and fuel costs associated with a larger displacement engine, alongside insurance premiums typical for a premium E-Class executive saloon.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average, as evidenced by the MOT history's focus on tyres and brake pads. Given the vehicle's weight and performance, high-quality tyres and brake components are necessary, which increases the annual upkeep budget.
Carefully inspect the nearside front windscreen for the chip and crack recorded in the January 2026 MOT, as this may require a full replacement. Examine the nearside rear tyre for the cut mentioned in the latest report to determine if it has deteriorated further.
Perform a physical check of the front lower suspension arms. Since the 2023 MOT recorded play in both the nearside and offside ball joints, any current knocking or instability during low-speed manoeuvring would indicate that the issue persists. Finally, check the tread depth and sidewall condition of all tyres, as this vehicle has had repeated advisories and failures related to tyre wear and damage across 2024 and 2025.
This grey 2018 Mercedes-Benz E has covered 70,006 miles, which is slightly below the model average. The MOT history shows one failure in February 2025 caused by worn brake pads and tyres, alongside recurring advisories regarding tyre condition and suspension ball joint play. The most recent test in January 2026 identifies a windscreen chip and a tyre cut.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 83.8%, with aggregate data highlighting tyres, suspension arms, and brake pads as the most frequent failure points.
