2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · KT18 AEF

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 March 2026 at 30,362 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean test results dating back to April 2024, indicating the car has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,795 miles per year. Between 22 August 2024 and 11 March 2026, the odometer rose by only 3,201 miles. This low usage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short trips. While the lack of wear on major components is a positive, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from dormant issues such as perished rubber seals or battery degradation. The MOT history shows no evidence of structural corrosion, suspension wear, or brake deterioration. A failure recorded on 22 August 2024 was resolved on the same day, though the record lists no specific defects for that entry. This suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade with age regardless of mileage. Check for flat spots on the tyres and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, which often occurs when a car sits idle. Verify the condition of the auxiliary battery and check for any signs of perished suspension bushes or leaking shock absorbers, as these rubber elements can harden over eight years even with minimal road use.
