MERCEDES-BENZ S-Class2017 · 5.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 January 2025 at 35,471 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has been kept to a high standard without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old S Class, averaging approximately 3,941 miles per annum. Between the October 2022 test at 33,474 miles and the November 2023 test at 34,622 miles, the car covered only 1,148 miles in over thirteen months. This suggests the vehicle is used sparingly or has spent significant stationary for extended periods. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and brake components, it can occasionally lead to perishation of rubber parts or corrosion due to inactivity. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for cracking in the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can degrade with age regardless of low mileage. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers, as infrequent use often leads to oxidation. The structural integrity appears sound based on the records, but a visual check of the chassis for surface rust remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
