Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus your attention on the tyres. The MOT history shows a failure in 2024 due to a tyre bulge and the most recent 2026 test noted that both front tyres are slightly damaged. Verify if these have been replaced since May 2026 or if they require immediate attention.
Given the low annual mileage, check the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at regular intervals regardless of distance. Confirm that the vehicle has been used for enough long-distance driving to prevent diesel particulate filter (DPF) clogging, which can occur in low-mileage diesel cars.
The 1950cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, though tax and insurance will reflect its executive status. Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz models tend to be higher than budget brands, but the low mileage on this specific example may reduce immediate wear-and-tear expenses.
Annual costs will include road tax based on its 2018 CO2 emissions, insurance for a premium saloon, and scheduled servicing. Expect a higher cost for replacement parts, such as the tyres and brake pads, which are common wear items for this model.
Carefully inspect the sidewalls of the front tyres for any bulges or cuts, referencing the damage noted in the May 2026 MOT advisories and the 2024 failure. Check for uneven wear which could indicate an alignment issue.
Referencing model aggregate data, pay close attention to the suspension arms and brake pads, as these are among the top failure reasons for the E-Class. A physical inspection should confirm there is no excessive play in the suspension or thinning of the brake pads.
This 2018 white Mercedes-Benz E-Class diesel has covered 44,958 miles as of its last MOT in May 2026. The vehicle is Euro 6(ZD) compliant and has a history of four passes and one failure. The mileage is notably lower than the average for this model, and the recorded defects have been limited to tyre condition.
The E-Class has an average MOT pass rate of 83.8%, with the most frequent failures occurring in the tyres, suspension arms, and brake pads.
