2018 Mercedes-Benz V 2.1L Diesel · AD14 ALE

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-03-31 MOT at 114,119 miles. All prior tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring faults or escalating problems are evident in the record, suggesting the previous owner prioritized regular servicing. The absence of advisories or critical failures in multiple consecutive tests confirms the car has remained mechanically sound through its operational life. The mileage of 114,119 miles over eight years equates to an average of 14,265 miles annually, which is above the typical range for this age. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with gaps of six to eight months between assessments. The most significant mileage increase occurred between 2024-05-28 (79,941 miles) and 2025-11-25 (108,611 miles), a rise of 28,670 miles in 18 months, reflecting heavy usage. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such issues were flagged in the tests. The clean record suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained despite the high annual mileage. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly the bushes and coil springs, which may show signs of fatigue from prolonged high-mileage operation. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as frequent use can degrade these parts. The exhaust system’s corrosion resistance is also critical, given the vehicle’s age and exposure to road conditions. While the MOT history shows no structural issues, verifying the absence of hidden damage or prior accident repairs through a vehicle history check is advisable.
