2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · LR18 AFF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-11-14 at 83,901 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2023 and 2022 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, the 2021-02-25 failure highlighted multiple tyre-related defects, including structural tears and perishing rubber, which were resolved by the subsequent 2021-02-26 test. No recurring mechanical or structural issues have been flagged in later records, implying the owner addressed prior concerns. The mileage progression aligns with an average of ~10,488 miles annually, consistent with the vehicle’s eight-year age. Notable gaps exist between the 2021-02-26 test (34,999 miles) and 2022-04-28 (37,305 miles), a 2,306-mile increase over 14 months, followed by a 7,902-mile jump to 45,207 by 2023-09-20. These intervals suggest irregular MOT scheduling, though no critical failures were recorded post-2021. The absence of suspension, brake, or exhaust-related defects in later tests indicates no immediate mechanical risks, but the tyre history warrants closer scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the current tyre condition, focusing on tread depth and structural integrity, as repeated perishing and tearing in 2021-2022 suggest potential neglect. Check for uneven wear patterns, which could signal alignment or suspension issues. While no brake or exhaust defects were noted in recent tests, the 2021 failures highlight the importance of verifying brake disc thickness and caliper function. Structural corrosion or rust is not mentioned in the records, but a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody is advisable to confirm long-term durability.
