2018 MERCEDES-BENZ S-Class4.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 9 December 2025 at 29,519 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend is stable. Each annual test since 2021 has likewise returned a Pass, showing no deterioration in the recorded safety or emissions items. Mileage has risen from 13,325 miles in December 2021 to 29,519 miles in December 2025, averaging roughly 4,000 miles per year. This low annual accumulation is consistent with light‑use operation rather than periods of prolonged inactivity, and there are no abrupt jumps or gaps in the record that would suggest sudden high‑stress usage. The steady, modest increase supports the view that wear‑related components have been subjected to relatively mild duty cycles. Although the MOT history contains no flagged faults, a prospective buyer should still examine typical wear items. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as even low‑mileage cars can develop uneven wear if stored improperly. Verify brake disc thickness and pad wear, ensuring there is no hidden scoring or glazing that the MOT may not have captured. Check suspension bushings, coil springs, and any rear‑axle components for signs of corrosion or fatigue, particularly around the front subframe where structural rust can develop unnoticed. A visual inspection of the exhaust system for leaks and a functional test of the steering feel will round out the assessment, confirming that the vehicle’s mechanical condition aligns with its clean MOT record.
