2018 Mercedes-Benz V 2.1L Diesel · SK18 AFY

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 100,096 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern shows a significant and rapid increase in usage over the last two years. Between June 2022 and July 2024, the vehicle covered 11,156 miles. However, in the period leading up to the October 2025 test, the odometer jumped by nearly 40,000 miles. This sudden surge in annual mileage indicates a change in usage patterns, likely shifting toward heavy long-distance or commercial work, which accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension. Despite the absence of recorded defects, the high mileage of 100,096 miles necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear items. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the suspension bushes and coil springs, which typically degrade under the stress of high-mileage use. The lack of advisories is positive, but the rapid accumulation of miles means consumables may be nearing the end of their service life. Check for signs of chassis corrosion and ensure the engine oil and transmission fluids have been changed in line with the increased mileage. While the MOT record is clean, it only captures a snapshot of safety and emissions. A manual review of service records is required to confirm that the mechanical upkeep has kept pace with the recent spike in distance travelled.
