2018 Mercedes-Benz X 2.3L Diesel · 99 RDT

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-09 at 59,655 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024-12-10 (54,512 miles) and 2023-12-14 (46,563 miles) also showed no issues, though an apparent duplicate entry for 2024-12-10 notes a failed test without defects. This inconsistency may reflect data entry errors, but the latest result confirms compliance. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the record. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,457 miles annually. The gap between 2023-12-14 (46,563 miles) and 2024-12-10 (54,512 miles) shows a 7,949-mile increase, slightly above average but not excessive. Subsequent growth to 59,655 miles by 2025-12-09 suggests steady, consistent use. The absence of significant mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity periods reduces risk of hidden wear on components like suspension bushes or brake discs. A physical inspection should focus on general wear items, as the MOT history lacks specific advisories. Check for corrosion on underbody components, particularly around the exhaust system, and assess brake disc thickness, given the vehicle’s age. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushings, may benefit from a closer look, though no prior failures are documented. The lack of recurring faults implies diligent maintenance, but a pre-purchase survey remains advisable to confirm condition.
