2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · DA53 ANN

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 34,694 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 11 March 2025 at 30,423 miles also showed a clean sheet. The single failure on 10 March 2025 at the same 30,423 miles carried no defects, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the car passing the next day. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the five-year record. The odometer traces a low-use pattern for an eight-year-old 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. From 24,044 miles at the 27 September 2023 test, it rose to 28,545 miles by 25 September 2024, then 30,423 miles by March 2025, and 34,694 miles by March 2026. That averages roughly 4,300 miles per year. The gap between the September 2024 and March 2025 entries is short, but the broader spread shows long stationary periods are plausible. Low mileage of this order often masks perished rubber components and seized calipers that a test bay will not always expose on a warm start. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody and suspension despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of recorded advisories does not rule out early structural rust on chassis legs or subframe mounts, particularly if the car sat unused through wet months. Check the front coil springs and rear trailing-arm bushes for cracking, and confirm the brake calipers are not binding after a road test. Given the sparse and defect-free history, previous keepers likely stored the car well and covered only short local journeys. The 2025 same-mileage fail-and-pass sequence suggests a rushed booking rather than neglected upkeep. Treat the low mileage as a reason to verify fluid condition and tyre sidewall ageing, not as proof of wear-free mechanical health.
