2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · KM18 ACU

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 13 September 2025 at 276,059 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to August 2023, suggesting a vehicle that is kept to a high mechanical standard despite its heavy usage. The mileage is exceptionally high for an eight year old car, averaging over 34,000 miles per year. The accumulation has been rapid and consistent, with the odometer climbing from 212,840 miles in August 2023 to 276,059 miles by September 2025. This represents nearly 63,000 miles covered in just over two years. Such high-intensity use typically indicates long-distance motorway commuting, which is generally less taxing on the engine than urban stop-start driving. Despite the clean MOT history, the extreme mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often fatigue under such high loads. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness, and the gearbox and engine oil should be inspected for degradation. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last five tests is unusual for a vehicle with this mileage. It implies a proactive maintenance regime where parts are replaced before they fail an official test. You should verify the service history to ensure that timing chains, water pumps, and transmission fluids have been changed at appropriate intervals to support this level of mileage.
