2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · LS68 RUH

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-24 at 55,803 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2022-12-09 and 2021-12-03 also passed, though a failed test on 2022-12-08 at the same mileage (52,192 miles) remains unexplained by defect details. The absence of recorded issues in the last three tests suggests no immediate mechanical concerns, though the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny for potential unresolved faults. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage, accumulating 6,975 miles per year over eight years. The 2021-12-03 test at 42,272 miles to 2022-12-09’s 52,192 miles reflects a 10,000-mile increase in 12 months, followed by a 3,611-mile rise to 55,803 miles by 2025. This pattern indicates consistent use without significant gaps, though the 2022-12-08 failure at 52,192 miles—just 17 days prior to the subsequent pass—suggests possible temporary issues requiring resolution. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the age and mileage. The absence of corrosion or structural defects in MOT records is positive, but a physical inspection is advised to confirm brake disc condition, exhaust system integrity, and potential binding calipers. The 2022 failure, though unrecorded in defects, may hint at minor faults requiring attention, making a pre-purchase check essential for peace of mind.
