2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · OK02 ADY

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass in March 2026 at 95,574 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of relative stability after a significant failure in early 2025 was addressed and rectified. Since that failure, the car has passed two consecutive tests without any recorded defects, suggesting that the current owner is responsive to safety-critical repairs once they are identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between December 2022 (49,686 miles) and January 2024 (69,021 miles), where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in just thirteen months. However, the usage has moderated since, with 26,553 miles recorded between the January 2024 and March 2026 tests. This steady annual mileage indicates typical wear on drivetrain-related components and suspension bushings. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the March 2025 failure at 91,237 miles highlighted thin front and rear brake pads and a missing seat belt anchor bolt. While these were noted as repaired, a physical inspection should verify the remaining life of the discs and check for any binding calipers that resulted from the previous wear. The 2024 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on both rear tyres suggests a past alignment issue or worn suspension components, which should be checked to ensure no premature wear of new tyres persists.
