2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · 74 RGB

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 67,135 miles, where the tester passed it with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, with every annual examination clearing clean once the car reached the test bay. A notable quirk sits in the records: on both 8 April 2025 and 31 March 2026 the car failed and passed on consecutive days at identical mileages, yet the failure entries list no defects. That pattern points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than any mechanical fault on the Mercedes. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,400 miles against an eight-year life, a typical figure for this 2018 E-Class. The records show 41,170 miles on 23 March 2024, jumping to 57,121 by 8 April 2025 and 67,135 by March 2026. That is about 16,000 miles in the first interval and 10,000 in the second, reflecting steady private or light executive use rather than standing idle. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories ever logged across any test, so the history gives no warning of pending wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The absence of advisories does not rule out worn suspension bushes, tired brake discs, or early structural corrosion hidden beneath clean test sheets. The same-day fail-pass cycles warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no genuine rejection was suppressed. Given the clean trail, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody integrity rather than chasing faults the MOT never raised.
