2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · LS68 HYG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2023 at 35,698 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the latest test identified only a minor advisory related to a nail in the offside rear tyre. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical or structural failures in the record, suggesting that the core components have remained within operational parameters over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,462 miles annually. Between the September 2021 test at 17,733 miles and the September 2022 test at 27,002 miles, the car covered nearly 10,000 miles, followed by only an additional 8,696 miles in the following year. This low usage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, though infrequent use can sometimes lead to rubber components hardening or seizing. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and tyre condition during a physical evaluation. The 2022 test flagged thin rear brake pads, and the 2021 record noted a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit on the edge. These entries suggest potential alignment issues or uneven pad wear that should be verified. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to check for flat spots on the tyres or brake caliper corrosion, which frequently occur on vehicles that sit for long periods between journeys.
