2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · DF68 AET

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 27 January 2026 at 95,896 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a lack of chronic mechanical failings. The mileage accumulation has increased significantly in the last eighteen months. Between 25 January 2024 and 9 January 2025, the car covered 14,844 miles. The pace accelerated further in the following year, adding 18,829 miles by the January 2026 test. While the overall average of roughly 12,000 miles per year is typical for a 2018 model, the recent surge in usage means the vehicle is entering a phase where high-wear components will require closer scrutiny. Despite the lack of MOT failures, the recent increase in mileage suggests a buyer should focus on consumables. Check the remaining tread depth on all tyres and the thickness of the brake discs and pads, as these are likely nearing the end of their service life given the recent 18,000-mile stint. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perishing, which often manifests after the 90,000-mile mark on this chassis. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 9 January 2025 within two miles, though the specific defect is not listed. This usually indicates a minor oversight or a quick-fix item like a blown bulb. Given the absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions warnings across all entries, the vehicle appears mechanically sound, provided the current wear levels of the brakes and tyres align with the increased recent usage.
