2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · AF17 AAZ

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all six MOT tests from 2022 to 2026 resulting in passing scores. The most recent 2026-03-10 test at 75,754 miles showed no defects, confirming consistent compliance with safety standards. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the record, suggesting the previous owner maintained the car to a satisfactory standard. The absence of advisories or failures across multiple inspections indicates no critical mechanical or structural concerns requiring immediate attention. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,417 miles annually. Each MOT was conducted approximately 12 months apart, with mileage increments reflecting steady, predictable usage. The 2022-03-14 test at 38,226 miles to the 2026-03-10 test at 75,754 miles shows a consistent annual increase, avoiding abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. This pattern suggests regular operation rather than infrequent use or extended storage, reducing risks of component degradation from stagnation. The clean record lacks anomalies, reinforcing the impression of routine, reliable maintenance. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, to verify no hidden wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these can develop over time despite passing MOTs. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body mounts, warrants scrutiny to confirm no undetected rust or damage. While the MOT history shows no red flags, a professional assessment of these areas will ensure no latent issues compromise safety or longevity.
