MERCEDES-BENZ E2017 · 1.9L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 1 April 2025 at 84,588 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak indicates a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical requirements and safety-related components before they could escalate into test failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Between September 2021 (45,807 miles) and September 2024 (83,465 miles), the car covered roughly 12,500 miles annually, showing steady usage patterns. The recent interval of 1,123 miles between the September 2024 and April 2025 tests shows the vehicle remains in regular use, which helps prevent the seal degradation and fluid ingress often associated with long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT record shows no recurring structural corrosion or brake-related failures, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items appropriate for this age and class. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and control arm bushings, as these often perish on heavier executive saloons before they trigger a failure. Given the clean history, checking for minor oil leaks and evaluating the thickness of the brake discs will be the final steps to ensure the mechanical state matches the excellent documented record.
