MERCEDES-BENZ E2017 · 1.9L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 4 September 2025 at 94,683 miles. The maintenance history shows a period of instability during mid-2025, where the car failed two tests within a four-month window. Despite these setbacks, the vehicle returned to a clean pass status, suggesting that the underlying issues were addressed and rectified. The current trend appears stable following the final pass, with no defects or advisories recorded. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. A significant gap of 13,126 miles occurred between the May 2024 test at 78,722 miles and the May 2025 test at 91,848 miles. However, the vehicle saw a rapid accumulation of 2,835 miles in just the four months between the May and September tests in 2025. This burst of activity indicates high usage during that period, which often correlates with the multiple MOT test failures observed during that specific period. While the most recent record shows no active faults, the history of failures in 2025 warrants a close physical inspection of the components most likely to trigger failures. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, as these are common points of failure on this model. Given the mileage approaching 100,000 miles, checking the brake discs for thinning and inspecting the calipers for binding is also essential. The structural integrity of the chassis should be verified to ensure that the previous test failures were not related to developing corrosion that might require future attention.
