2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · BV67 AEU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 November 2025 at 35,043 miles with no recorded defects. The overall trend is stable; a solitary failure for parking‑brake efficiency in the 3 November 2023 test was resolved, as subsequent 2024 and 2025 examinations recorded no faults. Mileage has risen from 2,886 miles in November 2020 to 35,043 miles in November 2025, an average of roughly 6,500 miles per year over the last five years. For a 2017 model, this equates to low‑average use—about 3,900 miles per year since registration—suggesting light duty rather than prolonged idling. No abrupt spikes or gaps appear; the recorded increments align with a consistent, modest accumulation of distance. A prospective buyer should verify the parking‑brake operation, ensuring the lever holds firmly and releases without drag, given the historic efficiency issue. Inspect the nearside rear tyre for tread depth and sidewall condition, as the 11 November 2024 advisory flagged wear close to legal limits, and confirm the nearside front tyre is free of cuts or bulges, recalling the 24 November 2020 note. A visual and tactile check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or uneven wear will further confirm that no underlying structural or mechanical deterioration has developed since the last clean MOT.
