2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · CJ17 AEL

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 8 January 2026 at 119,014 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test passed with no defects recorded, though it followed a failed attempt on the same date at identical mileage with no defects listed, a pattern repeated on 8 January 2024 at 104,851 miles. Such same-day fail-pass pairs with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects, and no worsening trend emerges from the data. Mileage stands at 119,014 miles against a 2017 build, equating to roughly 13,224 miles per year and placing this Mercedes-Benz E in the high-use bracket for its age. The records show steady annual accumulation: 104,851 miles in January 2024, 112,503 miles in January 2025, and 119,014 miles in January 2026, a consistent near-7,600-mile yearly increment with no standing gaps or sudden surges. The clean advisory columns across all five entries indicate the previous keeper addressed consumables and mechanical items to test standard, though the sparse history offers limited insight into component-level care. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high mileage and nine-year age, as these items accrue fatigue absent from a defect-free MOT sheet. The twin fail-pass anomalies on 8 January 2024 and 8 January 2026 warrant confirmation that no suppressed advisories or structural corrosion checks were missed at the point of testing. Given the absence of recorded advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers, the vehicle's documented history implies disciplined upkeep, but physical verification of underbody structural integrity remains prudent before purchase.
