2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E1.9L Diesel

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a successful pass on 9 April 2026. While the record shows a failed test on 8 April 2026, the absence of recorded defects suggests a procedural error or administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The history is exceptionally consistent, with four consecutive annual passes showing no advisories for wear or structural degradation. This indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance and suggests the vehicle has been kept in a reliable condition throughout its recent lifecycle. At 47,242 miles over nine years, the vehicle averages approximately 5,249 miles annually. This low-mileage profile is typical for a premium saloon of this class, though it warrants scrutiny regarding the vehicle's usage patterns. Consistent annual testing dates confirm the car has remained in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which mitigates concerns regarding perished rubber seals or seized drivetrain components often associated with long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes develop surface corrosion on friction surfaces if the car is used infrequently. Check the suspension bushes and control arm joints for signs of age-related cracking, as these components can degrade over time regardless of the distance covered. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus should remain on verifying the service history documentation to ensure that oil changes and fluid flushes have been performed according to the manufacturer's time-based schedule rather than relying solely on mileage intervals.
