2018 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Petrol · PO18 UMK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 April 2026 at 34,325 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a consistent trend across the previous four tests, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets all legal safety requirements without structural failures or recurring mechanical issues. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. Between November 2021 (7,970 miles) and October 2024 (31,660 miles), the car covered over 23,000 miles, showing a period of higher usage followed by more just 2,665 miles between the April 2024 and April 2026 tests. This low annual mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it increases the risk of rubber component degradation or brake corrosion during long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record shows no mechanical faults, a buyer should physically inspect specific areas related to low-mileage use. Check the tyres for flat spots or uneven wear caused by the vehicle sitting, and examine the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers which often occur when cars are driven infrequently. Given the age of the Mercedes, inspect the rubber suspension bushes and bushings for cracking, as these materials age over time regardless of the distance recorded on the odometer.
