2018 Mercedes-Benz V 2.1L Diesel · SK18 AHN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean current status. The most recent MOT test conducted on 21 August 2025 at 32,906 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a successful retest in August 2024, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing issues that arise during the annual inspection earlier that year. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 4,113 miles per year. The data shows a consistent low-useage history. Between August 2022 and August 2023, the mileage increased from 14,299 to 18,893 miles, while a further jump of 6,553 miles occurred between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This low accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips, which typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to high-mileage commercial use. Despite the clean history, the buyer must account for the risks associated with low-mileage operation. Rubber-based components such as suspension bushes, split timing belts, and tyre sidewalls perish from age rather than wear when a vehicle is infrequently. A physical inspection should check for signs of corrosion on brake discs or seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles sit stationary for long periods. The failure in August 2024 at 25,446 miles remains unstated in the provided record, so the buyer should verify what the specific fault was prior to purchase to ensure no recurring mechanical issue persists.
