2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · FG68 AZC

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent pass on 29 April 2025 at 60,894 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The April 2025 test passed with no defects recorded, though it was preceded by a failed attempt on the same date at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the February 2024 cycle showed a similar pass-fail pairing at 38,750 miles with no defects, and the November 2022 test passed clean at 37,163 miles. The mileage pattern reflects light use for an eight-year-old 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, averaging roughly 7,600 miles per year against the recorded 60,894. A notable gap exists between the November 2022 test at 37,163 miles and the February 2024 test at 38,750 miles, where only 1,587 miles accrued over fifteen months, suggesting the car stood idle or covered very short local journeys. From February 2024 to April 2025 the odometer advanced 22,144 miles, a sharper annualised rate but still within typical bounds. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories or warranted defects logged at any stage. Given the absence of recorded advisories across all tests, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not always captured at test: brake disc wear, suspension bushes, and coil spring condition. The repeated same-day fail-pass entries with no defects imply clerical issues at the testing station rather than owner neglect, yet the long 2022 to 2024 low-mileage period warrants checks for corrosion on structural underbody points and perished seals from standing. Verify the April 2025 failure cause with the DVSA certificate before purchase.
