2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E3.0L Diesel

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent 2025 test at 50,684 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults were flagged across the six-year history, suggesting the previous owner prioritized regular servicing. The absence of advisories or critical failures implies the car has been well-maintained within its usage parameters. The mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 6,000–7,000 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s nine-year age. The 2021 test at 22,892 miles and the 2025 test at 50,684 miles reveal a linear pattern, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps in usage. This suggests regular, moderate driving rather than heavy wear. However, the low total mileage for the car’s age could indicate periods of inactivity, which may affect components like rubber seals, brake calipers, or battery health. The clean MOT history does not confirm these risks, but they warrant further inspection. A buyer should prioritize checking suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushings, which may degrade over time without frequent use. Brake discs and calipers should be assessed for corrosion or uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles can develop binding issues. Structural integrity, including underbody rust, is critical given the car’s age, though no corrosion was noted in the MOT records. Exhaust emissions and engine bay cleanliness should also be verified, as these can reveal long-term storage impacts not captured by MOT tests.
