2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · CJ17 AEA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-21 at 85,237 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of annual passes since 2022, including a 2024-08-21 test at 82,987 miles and a 2023-08-21 test at 80,314 miles, all with no issues. The 2022-10-26 failure at 75,992 miles was recorded without defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or unrelated technical anomaly. Overall, the maintenance trend shows stability, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged across the last four years. The vehicle’s mileage of 85,237 miles aligns with its 9-year age, averaging 9,471 miles annually—a typical rate for its class. No significant gaps in testing are evident, as annual MOTs were consistently conducted from 2022 onward. The 2022-10-27 pass at 75,992 miles and subsequent 2022-10-26 failure at the same mileage raise questions about data accuracy, but no mechanical faults were recorded in either case. The absence of defects in recent tests indicates the owner maintained the vehicle to acceptable standards, with no evidence of accelerated wear or neglect. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without visible defects. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often develop gradually. Structural integrity remains unassessed in the records, so a physical check for rust or panel damage is advisable. The lack of advisories in recent MOTs suggests no immediate risks, but the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued compliance with safety standards.
