2018 Mercedes-Benz X 2.3L Diesel · YC18 AAO

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 9 January 2026 at 67,843 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the vehicle met all regulatory safety and emissions standards at the start of the year. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. Between the November 2023 test at 62,286 miles and the January 2026 test, the car covered 5,557 miles over approximately 26 months. This represents a low annual average during this period, suggesting light usage or occasional long-term standing. The absence of any defects or advisories across the last two tests is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. There are no recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion noted in the DVSA data. The lack of flagged consumables like tyre tread or wiper blades suggests a diligent approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should still focus on components that MOT testers often overlook unless they have failed completely. Check for signs of perished rubber seals or battery health, as the low mileage accumulation between 2023 and 2026 can lead to stagnation issues. Verify the condition of the brake calipers to ensure no seizing has occurred during periods of inactivity.
