MERCEDES-BENZ E2017 · 2.0L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-06-30, with no defects recorded at 65,385 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, with no major mechanical or structural issues flagged in the last three tests, indicating consistent upkeep by the previous owner. The 2023 test noted only a minor suspension symptom — slight play in the nearside front spring link — which was not repeated in subsequent checks, suggesting either a resolved issue or negligible wear that did not escalate. Mileage progression aligns closely with the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 7,265 miles per year over nine years. There are no significant gaps or sudden spikes in mileage; the 2023 test at 50,775 miles followed a 2022 test at 42,632 miles, with a 2024 test at 59,574 miles showing a steady annual increase. The record is clean and consistent, with no evidence of long-term neglect or erratic usage patterns. The 2025 test at 65,385 miles confirms the vehicle has been driven regularly without extended periods of inactivity. Despite the overall stability, a buyer should inspect the front suspension components closely, particularly the spring links and associated bushes, as the 2023 finding indicates a potential early sign of wear that may have been addressed but not fully resolved. The rear suspension and brake system should also be examined, as binding calipers or worn discs were not flagged in recent tests but could have been missed if not actively tested. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and underbody, should be checked for corrosion, as no such advisories appeared in the records but are common in older models with moderate mileage. Exhaust emissions and tyre tread depth should be verified in person, as these are routine failure points and were not mentioned in the MOT history despite their importance.
