2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · MK17 AAF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 20 July 2026 at 81,556 miles with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a recurring pattern of deferred consumable replacements. While the most recent inspection was clean, the presence of previous advisories suggests that the owner addresses issues only as they approach legal limits rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between April 2026 and July 2026, where the car covered 1,634 miles in just three months. Prior to this, the vehicle followed a steady trajectory, such as the 5,664 miles recorded between May 2024 and 2025. This consistent usage suggests the car is driven regularly, which typically prevents excessive degradation of rubber components and braking systems. A buyer should inspect the alignment and suspension geometry due to the uneven tyre wear noted in April 2024 and April 2026. The 2024 test specifically flagged badly worn inner edges on the offside front tyre, which often indicates incorrect camber or worn control arm bushes and bushings. Additionally, the 2020 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads indicates that the braking system is serviced at long intervals. A physical check of current pad thickness and disc condition is necessary to ensure the current owner has followed up on those previous warnings.
