2018 MERCEDES-BENZ E1.9L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to servicing. The latest test in July 2025 at 66,077 miles resulted in a pass despite thin front brake pads and a nail in the offside rear tyre. This follows a failure in June 2024 where the rear inner brake pads had reached the wear indicator, suggesting that the owner tends to address mechanical components only when they fail an inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,260 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 12,000 miles between the July 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 17,866 miles between June 2024 and July 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for extended periods, which generally benefits engine seals and mechanical components, though the intervals between tests show that consumables are reaching the end of their life cycles at standard annual intervals. A buyer should inspect the braking system thoroughly in person, as the record shows recurring issues with both front and rear pads. The 2023 advisory noted both rear tyres worn unevenly on the edges, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that were not explicitly flagged. Given the thin front pads noted in 2025, a physical check for brake disc scoring or glazing is necessary. You should also ensure the offside rear tyre was replaced following the most recent test to confirm no structural damage to the rim remains.
