2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · GU68 SHX

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, maintaining a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 3 November 2025 at 114,425 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean sheet is consistent across the last five annual tests, suggesting the previous owners have proactively maintained the mechanical and safety systems to avoid the failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage of 114,425 miles over eight years averages to approximately 14,300 miles per annum. This accumulation is consistent and steady, as evidenced by the 6,039 miles driven between the September 2022 test at 94,697 miles and the October 2024 test at 108,736 miles. Such regular usage often indicates the car has been used for motorway commuting, which generally benefits engine seals and brake components by preventing the corrosion and seizing associated with long periods of a stationary vehicle. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of components subject to high-mileage wear. A buyer should scrutinise the suspension geometry, specifically checking for perished rubber bushes and worn control arm, as these often reach the end of their life after 100,000 miles. The braking system should be evaluated for signs of sticking calipers or thinning discs to ensure the lack of MOT advisories reflects actual component health rather than a missed inspection.
