2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · AF67 PNJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-21 at 72,146 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, maintaining a consistent pass history across all tests since 2022. The absence of advisories or recurring failures suggests the car has been reliably maintained, though the double entry for October 2023—one pass and one fail at identical mileage—appears anomalous and may warrant clarification. No structural or mechanical issues have been flagged in the last three years, indicating the vehicle has not experienced a trend of worsening conditions. The recorded mileage of 72,146 miles over nine years reflects a steady usage pattern of approximately 8,000 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, though the double MOT entry in 2023—likely due to a technical error rather than a genuine failure—does not alter the overall trend. The regular intervals between tests (around 12 months) imply consistent registration and compliance with legal requirements. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components such as suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly at the rear where binding brakes were not recorded but could develop over time. The absence of advisories does not preclude gradual deterioration in brake discs, caliper seals, or exhaust system integrity, especially given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Corrosion checks at wheel arches, sills, and underbody should also be thorough, as these areas are critical for structural integrity and often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles. The lack of recurring faults does not eliminate the need for scrutiny of less visible systems like power steering fluid levels or differential fluid condition.
