2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · VU17 AAK

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 20 January 2026 at 24,495 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without any recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage is remarkably low for a nine year old car, averaging roughly 2,722 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady and low, moving from 16,185 miles in February 2022 to 24,495 miles by January 2026. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. While the MOT record is flawless, the low annual mileage introduces specific risks related to vehicle dormancy. A buyer should manually inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as brakes often seize when a car spends long periods standing. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or age-related cracking, regardless of the remaining tread depth. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions suggests the mechanical integrity remains intact. However, a physical check of the battery health and fluid levels is advised, as low-use vehicles often suffer from premature battery failure and moisture accumulation in the oil.
