2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · DX68 OXS

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-11 at 57,330 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2023 to 2024 also showed consistent passing, though a failed test on 2024-11-14 at 47,080 miles—immediately followed by a pass at 47,081 miles—suggests a potential data entry anomaly or a minor, unresolved issue. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns were flagged in the record, implying the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. The mileage of 57,330 miles over eight years aligns with average annual usage of 7,166 miles. However, a significant jump from 37,509 miles (2023) to 47,081 miles (2024) reflects a 9,572-mile increase in one year, which may indicate heavier usage or infrequent MOT testing. The 2024-11-14 failed test at 47,080 miles, paired with an immediate pass at 47,081 miles, raises questions about the accuracy of the records or the resolution of a minor fault. No other gaps or irregularities in the mileage progression are evident, and the absence of defects in later tests suggests no systemic deterioration. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension, braking system, and exhaust components during an in-person inspection, as these areas often require attention in older models. While no specific faults were recorded, the 2024-11-14 failed test—despite no defects noted—warrants scrutiny for potential unresolved issues. Checking for corrosion, particularly in the underbody, and assessing tyre wear for uneven patterns could also reveal maintenance habits. The lack of advisories or critical failures in recent tests supports the car’s roadworthiness, but a professional assessment is recommended to confirm the absence of hidden mechanical risks.
