2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · AJ67 FXR

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz E presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 64,221 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual examinations the vehicle has never failed and has drawn no advisories, indicating the previous keeper maintained it to a standard that satisfied DVSA testers on every occasion. Annual mileage averages 8,028 against the car's eight-year life, a typical figure for this class. The records show steady accumulation: 24,170 miles in February 2022, 36,355 by July 2023, 40,135 in February 2024, 52,775 in January 2025, and 64,221 by February 2026. The only irregularity is the 17-month gap between the July 2023 and February 2024 tests, yet the mileage delta of under 4,000 suggests limited use in that period rather than deferred maintenance. No rapid clusters of wear or sudden jumps appear. Given the absence of flagged faults, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess. Examine brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as these wear silently between tests. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for micro-cracking, and inspect underside structural members for corrosion given the vehicle's age. The clean history implies disciplined upkeep rather than concealed defects, but a pre-purchase mechanical appraisal remains prudent. Verify service stamps against the recorded mileages and confirm tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions under real driving load before completion.
