2017 Mercedes-Benz E 350 D AMG Line Auto 3.0L Diesel · BF66 HKA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistently clean MOT record spanning five tests. The most recent examination on 19 February 2026 took place four months ago, returning a pass with zero defects or advisories flagged by the tester. This result mirrors the passes at 61,382 miles in February 2025, 52,916 miles in February 2024, and 44,955 miles in November 2022. The absence of recurring faults across this period signals a maintenance routine that addresses wear promptly and avoids deferred repairs. The record demonstrates a stable trajectory, as no mechanical degradation appears in any test cycle. The recorded mileage aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old diesel saloon, averaging approximately 7,500 miles annually. The odometer advances steadily between the November 2022 and February 2024 examinations, covering roughly 7,960 miles over fifteen months. Early documentation shows a notable gap, with the first recorded test occurring in February 2021 at zero miles before jumping to 44,955 miles by late 2022. This initial sparsity suggests the vehicle spent extended periods off the public highway or belonged to a previous keeper who limited daily running. The subsequent three-year stretch delivers predictable progression without sudden spikes that typically signal harsh commuting or fleet abuse. A paper trail devoid of advisories demands careful physical verification during purchase. You must inspect the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links for subtle cracking or excessive play, as these components degrade silently before triggering an MOT fault. Check the brake discs for deep scoring or uneven wear, and verify that the callipers move freely without binding. Examine the exhaust system for heat discolouration around joints and confirm emissions meet current particulate thresholds for a Euro 6 diesel. Look along the sills, wheel arches, and underbody for surface rust or trapped moisture, particularly around the AMG line aerodynamic panels. Verify tyre tread depth meets legal limits and assess the condition of wiper blades and interior switches, since clean MOT certificates rarely capture cosmetic deterioration or minor electrical issues.
