2018 Mercedes-Benz V 2.1L Diesel · AD15 ARD

The official DVSA record for this 2018 Mercedes-Benz V establishes a stable overall roadworthiness status, culminating in a clear pass on February 5, 2026, at an unspecified mileage. This follows a curious sequence where the vehicle failed its initial test attempt on January 26, 2026, though the database logs no specific defect codes for either the failure or the subsequent pass six days later. The broader inspection history is remarkably clean, showing flawless passes on January 30, 2023, June 28, 2024, and January 24, 2025, with zero advisory items or mechanical failures recorded across those four preceding annual tests. The recorded mileage sits at 23,819 miles, which equates to roughly 2,977 miles per year over the vehicle's eight-year lifespan. This low annual mileage reflects light usage, though extended periods of inactivity can introduce specific risks such as battery degradation, seized brake components, or perished rubber seals. A notable gap appears between the June 2024 test and the January 2025 test, followed by an interval leading to the double test event in early 2026, indicating periods where the vehicle may have seen very little road use. Inspecting the vehicle in person requires particular attention to consumable items that suffer from low-mileage usage patterns. The absence of historical MOT advisories provides no technical data regarding brake disc corrosion, tyre sidewall cracking, or suspension bush deterioration, making a physical examination of the braking surfaces and rubber components essential. Buyers should verify the operation of the electronic parking brake and check the underbody for surface corrosion on the structural members and exhaust system, given that infrequent journeys often trap moisture within the mechanical assemblies.
