2018 Mercedes-Benz V 2.1L Diesel · SK18 ATO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 23 August 2025 at 44,443 miles resulted in a clean pass, mirroring the results of the previous four years of inspections. This trend suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained and has not suffered from significant mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger MOT advisories. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,555 miles per year. Between September 2022 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 24,202 miles, indicating a consistent and light usage pattern. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests shows a jump of 7,190 miles, which aligns with the overall annual average. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or past faults, a physical inspection should focus on components that degrade with age rather than distance. A buyer should check for signs of perished suspension bushes, split sidewalls, or perished wipers which are common on low-mileage vehicles. The brake discs should also be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from cleaning the rotors effectively. The structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for any early-stage corrosion, despite the clean history indicating no previous failures.
