MERCEDES-BENZ E2017 · 1.9L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of effective reactive maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 August 2025 at 66,955 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and that the vehicle has been maintaining a high standard of operational readiness over the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 12,110 miles between September 2023 and August 2024, followed by a more modest accumulation of roughly 4,300 miles in the year leading to the 2025 test. This lower annual mileage suggests the car is used sparingly, which generally preserves the longevity of drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus on the front-end components following the September 2022 failure at 45,512 miles. The vehicle failed due to an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint alongside thin front brake pads and discs. While these faults were cleared for the subsequent clean passes, an on-site physical inspection should verify that the ball joints remain free of play and that the braking system does not exhibit uneven wear. Given the lack of advisories in the last three tests, the vehicle appears well-kept, but checking for minor rubber degradation in the suspension remains a prudent practice for a Mercedes of this age.
