2018 Mercedes-Benz V 2.1L Diesel · GU67 ACZ

This Mercedes-Benz V has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with every test since 2022 passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2 February 2026—just five months ago—confirmed no issues, reinforcing a stable maintenance pattern. While the absence of recurring faults is reassuring, the lack of advisories also means no prior warnings about wear items like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper binding were documented. This could imply either meticulous upkeep or that minor wear has yet to reach MOT-reportable thresholds. The recorded mileage of 42,743 miles over eight years suggests unusually light usage, averaging just over 5,300 miles annually. This pattern is evident in the steady mileage increments: from 23,425 miles in February 2022 to 42,743 miles today, with no sudden spikes or prolonged gaps. Such low mileage typically correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components like drivetrain seals, exhaust manifolds, or turbochargers, though it may also indicate periods of storage where fluids could degrade without movement. The consistency of the mileage figures—without abrupt jumps—further supports the likelihood of regular, albeit low-volume, usage rather than neglect. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common wear points on this model that often go unnoticed until they fail. The brakes, though never flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven pad wear or glazing, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as low mileage can mask rust progression if the car has been exposed to salted roads or damp conditions. Finally, verify fluid levels—brake, coolant, and differential oil—and check for leaks around the engine bay, as these are often overlooked in lightly used vehicles but can lead to costly failures if neglected.
