2018 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · WO67 ABK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-09 at 51,556 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the preceding test on 2025-06-06 at 51,526 miles resulted in a failure with no defects listed, suggesting potential minor issues resolved between tests. Subsequent tests from 2024 and 2023 show consistent passes with no defects, reinforcing that the car has met roadworthiness standards in prior years. The lack of recorded faults in recent tests implies no critical mechanical or structural concerns at present. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,444 miles annually. Notable gaps include a 9,457-mile increase between the 2023-06-15 test (32,218 miles) and the 2024-06-07 test (41,675 miles), followed by a 9,881-mile rise to 51,556 miles by 2025. These increments suggest regular use but no extreme wear patterns. The absence of recurring defects in the record indicates no systemic issues, though the two consecutive failures in June 2025—both without recorded faults—warrant scrutiny for potential unresolved minor faults. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these often emerge gradually. Corrosion on underbody panels and exhaust emissions compliance are also critical, as these can deteriorate over time. While the MOT history lacks specific faults, the proximity of the two 2025 failures and the vehicle’s eight-year tenure suggest a need for a detailed pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued reliability.
