2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2.9L Diesel · H17 RDV

The 2025‑12‑11 MOT at 45,240 miles confirmed the vehicle as roadworthy, with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend and no emerging faults. The mileage trajectory shows a modest annual increase of roughly 5,600 miles since the 2018 registration, reflecting light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The jump from 5,500 miles in June 2019 to 8,773 miles by December 2019 represents a three‑month acceleration, but subsequent tests have risen by about 5,500 miles each year, indicating consistent, moderate use rather than sudden high‑stress operation. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or cracking, verify that the rear brake calipers move freely and that the discs show even wear, and examine the body for structural rust around the sills, wheel arches and under‑tray. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion and proper emission levels, and the tyre tread depth and overall condition should be assessed, as the low mileage suggests limited wear but does not guarantee absence of latent faults.
