AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend based on the available MOT history, with the most recent test on 5 February 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. The records from 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2026 all show clean passes without any recorded failures or advisories. This indicates that the vehicle has met the minimum legal requirements for roadworthiness during these specific inspection intervals. The recorded mileage of 106,434 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 11,826 miles per year. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline, though a notable interval exists between the January 2024 test and the February 2026 test. This two-year gap means the most recent data reflects a vehicle that has likely covered a significant portion of its current mileage since its last formal inspection. Because the MOT history contains no recorded issues regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, there is no documented evidence of mechanical degradation. However, the absence of advisories does not account for the condition of consumables between tests. A physical inspection should focus on checking for signs of uneven tyre wear, brake pad thickness, and any potential corrosion on the underside or exhaust system that may have developed since the 2026 test. A buyer should also verify the service history to complement these MOT results. While the MOT record is clean, it only confirms the vehicle met basic safety standards at the time of testing and does not provide insight into routine fluid changes or component replacements. Checking the condition of the suspension components and the integrity of the brake calipers during a viewing would be a prudent step to ensure no issues have arisen since the last February inspection.

Our Verdict

A solid option for those seeking a higher-specification diesel saloon. The recent MOT history shows no recorded defects across the last four tests, suggesting a consistent pass rate.

When inspecting this E-Class, focus on the service history to ensure the 1.9L diesel engine has received regular oil changes, especially as it approaches the 110,000-mile mark. Check for any signs of wear in the automatic gearbox transitions and ensure the SE trim features, such as interior electronics, are fully functional.

Because the MOT history shows no recorded defects, your physical inspection should focus on items that MOTs don't always catch, such as the condition of the brake pads, the health of the turbocharger, and any potential fluid leaks under the engine bay. Negotiate based on the upcoming service requirements and the mileage, which is relatively high for a nine-year-old vehicle.

As a 1950cc diesel, this model is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though fuel costs will depend on your annual mileage. The E 220 d typically sits in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it manageable for many drivers.

Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles can be higher than for mainstream brands, particularly for specialist parts or sensor replacements. Expect typical running costs to include diesel fuel, standard servicing, and periodic replacement of consumables like tyres and brake discs.

Based on the provided MOT history, there have been no recorded failures for items like tyres, brakes, or lighting, which is a positive indicator of recent compliance. However, you should manually inspect the suspension components and bushings, as these can wear on higher-mileage diesel saloons.

Given the 106,434 recorded miles, check the condition of the drive belts and the cooling system. Ensure that the automatic transmission fluid has been changed according to the manufacturer's schedule, as this is vital for the longevity of the SE Auto gearbox.

This 2017 Mercedes-Benz E 220 d SE Auto has covered 106,434 miles as of its last MOT in February 2026. The vehicle's MOT record is notable for having no recorded defects or failures since its first recorded test in 2022. While the mileage is climbing, the lack of MOT failures provides a clean data set for this specific black diesel saloon.

No aggregate MOT data is available for the Mercedes-Benz E 220 d SE Auto to provide a specific reliability comparison.
