2024 Mercedes-Benz V 1.9L Diesel · RE24 BXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from mechanical failure to accelerated consumable wear. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 123,074 miles passed, it introduced advisories for both the nearside and offside rear tyres wearing from the inside edge. This indicates a developing alignment or suspension issue that has emerged since the clean test recorded just three weeks prior in the same month at 120,322 miles. The mileage accumulation is extreme, with the vehicle covering over 61,000 miles per year in its two-year lifespan. Between the April 2025 and April 2026 tests, the car clocked 61,177 miles in just twelve months. This high-intensity usage pattern suggests consistent motorway operation, which places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to average use. The short interval between the two 2026 tests suggests the owner is testing the vehicle frequently despite the high annual intervals. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry due to the failure in April 2025 at 61,887 miles, where an offside front Macpherson strut was found insecurely attached. Although this was reportedly rectified, the current inner edge wear on the rear tyres suggests that the camber or toe settings are out or that rear bushings are failing prematurely. A physical inspection of the control arms, shock absorbers, and strut mounts is essential to ensure that the high mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the vehicle's handling components.
