2017 MERCEDES-BENZ S-Class4.7L Petrol

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend following a period of concern. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2025 at 14,811 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car is currently in a compliant mechanical state. This follows a two-year streak of clean passes, suggesting that the previous owner has addressed earlier issues and maintained the vehicle to standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old S-Class, averaging approximately 1,646 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between August 2022 at 9,966 miles and August 2023 at 11,678 miles, where the vehicle covered only 712 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized seals, and flat-spotted tyres. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyre condition based on the failure in August 2023 at 11,650 miles. That test failed due to all four tyres being near the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear, specifically the nearside rear tyre falling below 1.6mm. Although these were likely replaced subsequently, an inspector should verify that the current set shows no signs of alignment issues or recurring uneven wear patterns. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection of the brake discs for surface corrosion and suspension bushings for cracking is essential, as these components often suffer when a vehicle is not driven frequently.
