2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · DH18 BZR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 June 2025 with 84,933 miles. The maintenance trend shows marked improvement following a period of significant neglect in mid-2024. While the car suffered multiple failures during that period, the subsequent clean test sheet with no recorded defects indicates that the previous owner successfully addressed the outstanding mechanical and safety issues identified last year. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in data between the January 2023 test at 47,667 miles and the June 2024 test at 70,644 miles, representing over 22,000 miles driven in just seventeen months. Since then, the vehicle has covered roughly 14,000 miles to the last test, suggesting a return to regular usage pattern which typically prevents the degradation of components during long stationary periods. A buyer must pay close attention to the steering and suspension components given the recurring faults in 2024. The tester previously flagged missing road wheel fixings across all four wheels and play in the offside track rod end ball joint. While these were reportedly rectified, a physical inspection is required to ensure all wheel bolts are properly torqued and the steering geometry remains free of further play. The previous failure regarding an inoperative engine management light in 2024 also suggests an electronic fault that was cleared or repaired, so a diagnostic scan would be advisable to ensure no latent fault codes remain in the engine management system.
