2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · DC18 AEP

This vehicle presents an exceptional roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 9 September 2025 at 29,322 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive passes without a single recorded failure or advisory note, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is notably low for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 3,665 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained relatively low and consistent, though there was a more significant increase between the August 2024 test at 22,645 miles and the September 2025 test at 29,322 miles. This jump of 6,677 miles in one year is the highest recorded interval in the history, yet it did not result in any new mechanical defects. Because the MOT record is entirely clean, there are no recurring faults such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks to flag. The lack of advisories over five years suggests the previous owner did not neglect basic consumables. However, the low overall mileage and periods of light use can sometimes lead to issues not captured in a standard test, such as perished tyre rubber or stagnant brake fluid. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and the absence of any seizing in the brake calipers due to under-use. Checking for signs of battery degradation is also advisable given the low annual mileage. Beyond these age-related consumables, the technical data suggests a mechanically sound vehicle with high structural integrity.
