2018 Mercedes-Benz E 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · YA67 VXY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 13 January 2026 at 70,330 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. This follows a clean pass in January 2025 at 65,374 miles, suggesting no immediate mechanical concerns. However, earlier tests revealed recurring issues with tyre condition. In January 2024, the offside front outer tyre was noted as having a cut not penetrating the ply, while January 2022 highlighted both offside front tyre wear close to legal limits and a rear tyre puncture from a nail. These defects, though minor, point to potential neglect in tyre maintenance or alignment checks during those periods. The absence of advisories in recent tests implies improved attention to these components. Mileage accumulation aligns with the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 6,535 miles annually between January 2021 (37,656 miles) and July 2026 (70,330 miles). This steady, moderate usage suggests balanced wear rather than excessive strain. The consistent annual MOT history, with no significant gaps, supports regular servicing. The undertray fitted in January 2023 may indicate prior corrosion concerns, though no structural defects were recorded in subsequent tests. Prospective buyers should inspect the tyres thoroughly, paying close attention to tread depth, sidewall integrity, and alignment, given the historical wear and puncture issues. The 2022 and 2024 advisories suggest possible suspension or wheel alignment problems, warranting a detailed check of bushings, shocks, and steering components. The 2023 undertray installation warrants a visual inspection of the chassis for signs of rust or damage, particularly in the engine bay and beneath the car. Brake discs and calipers should also be examined for binding or uneven wear, as tyre-related issues can sometimes stem from braking system faults. Overall, the recent clean MOT history is reassuring, but the earlier tyre defects highlight the importance of verifying these critical components before purchase.
