2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · VS10 TAL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass on 3 February 2026 at 75,502 miles. While the record shows a failure just five days prior on 29 January 2026 at 75,098 miles, the lack of recorded defects on that failure suggests an administrative error or a minor presentation issue that was rectified immediately without indicating underlying mechanical neglect. Since 2023, the car has maintained a consistent standard of compliance for an eight-year-old Mercedes. The mileage pattern aligns with typical annual usage for this class, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the vehicle covered 4,336 miles, indicating a period of lower use. The subsequent jump of 22,843 miles between July 2024 and February 2026 shows a return to higher-frequency driving. This consistent usage is generally beneficial for modern German vehicles as it prevents the seal dry rot and brake component corrosion that often affects low-mileage cars that spend long periods sitting stationary. Because the MOT history is devoid of recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the physical inspection should focus on the current state of consumables. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyres and check for uneven wear on brake pads, as these are not always detailed in the MOT record. Given the age and mileage, checking for fluid leaks around the engine bay or gearbox is a prudent step to ensure the clean MOT record reflects a well-maintained mechanical system.
