2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · KT67 ABF

The recorded MOT history for this 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile across the four tests documented since 2022. The most recent examination on 24 February 2026 returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, continuing a pattern established in 2024 and 2022 where the vehicle also passed without comment. The only blemish in an otherwise unblemished record is the 2023 test on 6 May, which passed but flagged two tyre advisories, both at 2.0mm of remaining tread, on the nearside front and nearside rear positions and described as worn on edge. The fact that no suspension, brake, corrosion, exhaust, or structural advisories have appeared at any test is a notable point in the vehicle's favour, although MOT testing is a snapshot of safety-critical items at one point in time and cannot verify general mechanical condition. With 80,714 miles recorded against an age of approximately eight years, the annual accumulation works out at roughly 10,089 miles per year, which sits comfortably within the typical range for a vehicle of this class and vintage. There are no extended gaps in the testing record, with examinations recorded annually from 2022 through 2026, indicating continuous use rather than long periods of standing. Consistent annual mileage of this magnitude implies steady, real-world use with regular warm-up cycles and motorway driving, which generally keeps the engine, transmission, emissions system, and braking components functioning as designed. There is no evidence of unusually high mileage spikes or prolonged lay-up periods that would raise specific concerns about seized brakes, deteriorated rubber seals, or degraded fluids. For a prospective buyer, the tyre advisories from 2023 are the single component-specific data point worth interrogating, particularly because both were flagged on the same side of the vehicle and described as worn on edge rather than across the full tread width. Edge wear is commonly associated with incorrect wheel alignment, particularly camber or toe settings on the affected axle, worn suspension bushes, or bent component geometry following an impact. On a test drive, attention should be paid to any pulling to the left under braking or steady acceleration, uneven steering effort, or a sense of vagueness through the steering wheel when changing direction. Inspect the inner and outer shoulders of the current tyres for feathering or stepped wear and check that the nearside front and rear tyres are of matching brand, size, and tread depth, as asymmetric fitments can mask underlying geometry issues. Beyond the tyre history, the absence of any brake, suspension, or corrosion advisories over four tests does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection of these systems, particularly given the mileage. During a road test, listen for clonks or knocks from the front suspension over speed humps and rough roads, which would point to worn lower control arm bushes, drop links, or top mount deterioration typical of a premium executive saloon at this mileage. Check for vibration through the brake pedal under firm pedal pressure, which would indicate disc warp, and confirm that the parking brake holds on an incline without excessive travel. A thorough under-body inspection for any emerging corrosion on suspension arms, brake pipes, and undertrays is also advisable, as the MOT record alone cannot confirm what is developing beneath the vehicle between annual tests.
