Our Verdict
Approach this 2017 Mercedes-Benz V (KY17ACJ) with caution and budget for steering and brake work. The recent MOT history shows a failure in 2025 for steering rack play and an ESC warning, plus a 2026 advisory noting the parking brake only just passed.
Given the 2025 MOT failure for offside front play in the steering rack inner joint and the associated electronic stability control warning, insist on proof the steering rack was properly repaired or replaced, not just temporarily adjusted. The same test also flagged the ESC lamp, so confirm no fault codes remain stored in the system. Request the full service history for this KY17ACJ vehicle; with 123,563 miles on a 2017 diesel, regular oil and filter changes are essential and missing records should lower your offer.
As a 2,143cc diesel Mercedes-Benz V first registered in June 2017, expect higher-than-average fuel consumption for a van-based MPV, though diesel should return reasonable long-distance economy. Road tax for a diesel of this size and age will be in a higher band, and insurance group is likely elevated due to the Mercedes badge and commercial origins. Typical annual maintenance for a high-mileage example should allow for brake and steering upkeep; estimated annual running cost is £1,400-£1,800 including fuel, tax, insurance and routine servicing.
The MOT history shows a 2025 failure for offside front play in steering rack inner joint(s) and an ESC warning lamp fault, so physically check the steering for any remaining play and have a diagnostic scan performed to confirm the stability system is clear. The June 2026 pass noted the parking brake efficiency only just met the limit (1.4.2 (a) (i)), meaning you should test the handbrake on a slope and budget for cable or shoe adjustment. With 123,563 miles recorded, also inspect for general wear on suspension bushes, tyres and turbo diesel components not explicitly covered by past MOTs.
This silver 2017 Mercedes-Benz V diesel with a 2,143cc engine has covered 123,563 miles as of its last MOT in June 2026, which is a high but not unusual total for a commercial-derived people carrier of this age. The MOT record shows a clean run from 2023 to 2024, but a failure in July 2025 for offside front steering rack inner joint play and an ESC warning lamp, later cleared on retest the same day. The most recent pass carried an advisory that the parking brake efficiency only just met requirements, suggesting adjustment or repair is needed.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Mercedes-Benz V, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
