2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · MD68 AAA

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 April 2025 with 151,178 miles. While the record shows a failure just one day prior at 151,165 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests either an administrative error or a minor presentation issue that was rectified immediately. The maintenance trend appears stable, as there are no recurring mechanical or structural failures documented across the last three testing cycles. The data reveals a significant shift in usage patterns over the last three years. Between April 2023 (29,853 miles) and April 2024 (97,368 miles), the car covered over 67,000 miles in a single year. This intensity continued into the following period, where the vehicle clocked another 53,810 miles before the April 2025 test. Such high annual mileage, averaging nearly 19,000 miles per year, places considerable strain on the Mercedes E-Class's drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system compared to typical domestic use. Given the high-mileage profile, a physical inspection must focus on the integrity of the lower suspension and steering components. The buyer should check for signs of premature wear on control arms and shock absorbers, which often degrade under constant motorway use. The brake discs should also be examined for thinning or signs of binding calipers, as the mileage suggests heavy reliance on these consumables. While the MOT history is clean of advisories, the sheer volume of travel necessitates a thorough check of fluid levels and tyre condition to ensure the vehicle has not been neglected between service intervals.
