MERCEDES-BENZ E2017 · 1.9L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 14 July 2021 at 35,332 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a consistent standard of maintenance during the recorded period, as the vehicle met all regulatory requirements without mechanical or structural failures in the final inspection. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between 13 July 2020 and 30 July 2020, where the car was tested twice with negligible mileage increase in seventeen weeks. Between July 2020 and July 2021, the car covered an additional 3,628 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips or remained stationary for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Older rubber elements such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyres may show signs of cracking or perish despite having deep tread. Because the record lacks recent data on advisories on brake calipers or discs, the braking system should be checked for surface rust or pitting caused by lack of use. Given the last recorded MOT was over five years ago, a comprehensive mechanical survey is now essential to ensure no hidden structural corrosion or fluid leaks have developed since the 2021 test.
