2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 3.0L Petrol · KN68 WRO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend following a period of neglect. The most recent test in November 2025 at 59,013 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This shift from multiple advisories to zero defects suggests the current owner has moved toward proactive maintenance standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, moving from 35,781 miles in May 2022 to 59,013 miles by late 2025. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest the car sat stationary for long periods, which is beneficial for the preservation of rubber components, seals, and fluid integrity in a high-end S-Class model. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and geometry. The May 2024 test at 49,001 miles flagged thin rear brake pads and three tyres worn on both inner and outer edges. The uneven wear on the tyres often indicates incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes, which are common failure points on heavy luxury saloons. While the recent tests passed without issue, a physical check should verify that the current tyre set wears evenly and that the braking system shows no signs of premature thinning or uneven binding.
