2018 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · SK03 ADE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend across its recent history. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 60,115 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle meets all regulatory requirements. Following an initial failure in October 2022, the car has achieved three consecutive passes without any notes, suggesting that previous mechanical issues were successfully rectified. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate profile, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between the October 2022 and October 2024 tests, the vehicle covered 15,546 miles, followed by another 8,496 miles before the September 2025 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation which can often lead to component degradation. The low mileage relative to the eight-year age typically implies less wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to higher-mileage counterparts. While the MOT record is remarkably clean of recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on specific areas common to Mercedes-Benz models of this era. Given the mileage, buyers should check the condition of rubber components such as arm bushes and shock boots for signs of cracking or perishing. The lack of recorded advisories for brake discs or pads warrants a manual check of the calipers for binding to ensure no long-term corrosion has occurred during periods of lower use. Examining the chassis for surface corrosion remains a standard precaution, though the history does not flag any structural integrity concerns to date.
