2017 Mercedes E 2.1L Petrol · AY66 FPC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The final MOT conducted on December 5, 2022 at 63,663 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, indicating the mechanical and safety systems met the minimum standard at that time. However, as it has been over three and a half years since this test, the current roadworthiness status is unverified and a fresh inspection is mandatory to identify any developing faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use premium executive vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between December 2020 at 42,029 miles and December 2021 at 52,594 miles, the car covered over 10,000 miles, showing a period of higher usage. The subsequent interval of 11,069 miles covered between late 2021 and 2022 suggests a reduction in driving frequency, which generally preserves the longevity of drivetrain components and rubber-based suspension bushings. The single failure on December 9, 2021 at 52,594 miles due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) suggests a previous electronic sensor issue that was rectified. While the vehicle passed the re-test, a buyer should perform a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the engine management system. Given the low mileage and the time elapsed since the last test, an inspection should specifically focus on brake corrosion on the discs and the condition of the tyres, as these can degrade when vehicles are left stationary for extended periods.
