Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a recurring
When inspecting this vehicle, pay close attention to the alloy wheels. The MOT records from July 2025 and July 2026 both cite fractured inner rims, which can indicate that the car has been driven over potholes or kerbs with significant force. Ensure all four wheels are inspected for hairline cracks or signs of previous repair, as these can compromise safety and lead to expensive replacements.
Beyond the wheels, check the service history to see if the brake pads mentioned as 'wearing thin' in 2024 were replaced. Given the vehicle's age and the specific failures noted, it is advisable to have an independent mechanic perform a pre-purchase inspection to assess the suspension and wheel integrity before committing to the purchase.
As a 1991cc petrol model, this E-Class falls into a higher bracket for both fuel consumption and road tax compared to smaller hatchbacks. You should budget for premium-grade tyres and potential suspension maintenance, as the E-Class is a heavy vehicle that puts significant strain on these components.
Insurance costs for a luxury executive saloon of this age can be substantial, depending on your driving history. Including fuel, annual tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, you should expect to spend between £2,200 and £2,800 annually to keep this vehicle on the road.
Prioritise a thorough check of the alloy wheels. Look for any signs of welding or uneven tyre wear, which often accompanies wheel rim damage. Since the MOT history explicitly mentions fractured inner rims, verify that the current wheels are free from stress fractures and are not buckled.
Additionally, inspect the suspension components, such as control arms and bushings, as these are common failure points for this model according to aggregate data. Ensure the tyres are of a high-quality brand and check for any uneven wear patterns that might suggest misaligned tracking or damaged suspension geometry.
This 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has covered 41,526 miles, which is significantly lower than the expected average for an eight-year-old vehicle. Its MOT history reveals a concerning trend of fractured wheel rims in both 2025 and 2026. Despite these failures, the vehicle has successfully passed its most recent test, though the persistent nature of these wheel issues warrants close attention.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class generally aligns with industry standards, though aggregate data shows that tyre and suspension-related failures are common across the model range.
