2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · KT18 ABN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 14 May 2025 at 268,046 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passes without recorded failures or warnings dating back to November 2022. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging over 33,000 miles per year. A significant spike in usage occurred between May 2024 and May 2025, where the odometer jumped from 149,943 to 268,046 miles. This suggests the car has spent the last year in heavy commercial or long-distance service, covering nearly 118,000 miles in a single twelve month period. While the MOT record is superficially clean, the extreme mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts, as these typically degrade under such heavy duty cycles. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee the health of the drivetrain or the remaining life of the brake discs and pads. Priority should be given to inspecting for underbody corrosion and checking the service history for evidence of timely oil changes and transmission fluid flushes. Given the rapid mileage increase since 2024, verifying that the timing chain or belt and other major interval service items have been replaced is critical to avoid catastrophic mechanical failure.
