Our Verdict

Highly recommended for consideration. This E-Class benefits from exceptionally low mileage and a perfect MOT record with no recorded failures or advisories.

When inspecting this specific low-mileage vehicle, your primary focus should be verifying the full service history. Because the car has averaged roughly 5,100 miles per year—well below the 9,163-mile average—it is vital to ensure annual oil changes were performed on time to prevent engine degradation despite the low mileage. Check for any signs of rubber component aging, as very low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from perished seals or bushings if not used regularly.

Negotiate based on the rarity of a low-mileage E-Class, but demand proof of consistency. Since the MOT records show no defects, pay close attention to the interior electronics and infotainment systems, which are common areas of concern for this model generation, but are not captured in a standard MOT test.

The 1991cc petrol engine typically sits in a mid-range insurance group and tax band, depending on the specific trim and emissions. Owners can expect respectable fuel economy for a large executive car, though real-world figures will vary based on city versus motorway driving patterns.

Maintenance costs for a Mercedes-Benz are generally higher than for volume brands, particularly for parts and specialist labour. Given the low mileage, your annual expenditure—including fuel, tax, insurance, and scheduled servicing—is estimated to fall between £1,200 and £1,600.

While the MOT history for this vehicle shows zero failures, you should still inspect the suspension components, as suspension arms are a noted failure point for this model across the aggregate data set. Look for any play in the steering or uneven tyre wear patterns during a test drive.

Check the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks, as aggregate data indicates engine-related issues as a top failure reason for this model type. Despite the low mileage, inspect the tyres for age-related cracking on the sidewalls, as these can occur on vehicles that age without heavy use.

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz E Class presents as a low-used example, having covered just 41,271 miles over eight years, which is significantly lower than the market average for its age. The MOT history is remarkably clean, showing five consecutive passes without a single defect recorded since 2021. Combined with the 2.0-litre petrol engine, it offers a balanced proposition for those seeking a premium executive saloon experience.

The E-Class generally performs well, though data suggests monitoring suspension and engine-related sensors is necessary across the model range.
