2018 Mercedes-Benz E 2.0L Petrol · M15 CAU

The vehicle presents a broadly stable mechanical condition through its MOT history, with the most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 56,277 miles resulting in a pass. That said, the maintenance trend is not entirely clean. The tester flagged the offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, alongside a puncture on the same tyre. This combination suggests uneven wear patterns, potentially linked to wheel alignment, suspension geometry, or tyre pressure management, rather than simple age-related degradation. The pass outcome confirms the car met minimum safety standards at the time, but the advisory nature of the tyre wear indicates a developing issue that a buyer should not overlook. Mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the April 2022 test at 30,965 miles and the August 2025 test at 56,277 miles, the car covered roughly 25,312 miles over three years and four months, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. This sits within the normal range for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would suggest clocking or prolonged inactivity. The annual tests from 2022 through 2025 provide a reasonably continuous picture of use, with no missing years that would raise concern. The recurring theme across the record is tyre wear, appearing in three of the five tests. The nearside front tyre was flagged in April 2022 at 30,965 miles, and the offside rear tyre appeared again in August 2025 at 56,277 miles. This pattern of edge wear on different corners over time points toward possible alignment drift or suspension component wear rather than a one-off event. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, tracking, and wheel alignment in person, paying close attention to the condition of all four tyres and the inner sidewalls. The windscreen chip noted in July 2024 at 46,698 miles may have been repaired, but the area should still be examined for cracks or distortion that could worsen. No structural corrosion, brake defects, or exhaust emissions failures appear in the record, which is a positive sign for the vehicle's underlying integrity.
