2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · CV17 ACZ

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 27 November 2025 at 144,045 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the supplied records is stable, with consecutive passes in September 2025 and January 2025, and only an anomalous failure on 31 December 2024 that listed no defects. The lack of advisories suggests consistent baseline compliance, though the single failure without recorded faults warrants clarification. Registered in 2017, this Mercedes-Benz E has covered approximately 144,045 miles in nine years, equating to a high average of near 16,000 miles per annum. The available history begins at 6 March 2024 with 118,112 miles. Between that date and the 31 December 2024 test at 140,903 miles the car accumulated 22,791 miles in under ten months, a steep usage rate. Subsequent recordings show a marked slowdown: just 146 miles separated the September and November 2025 tests. Such a shift implies the earlier heavy commuting gave way to minimal recent use, possibly indicating storage or a change of owner habits. No suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues appear in the DVSA entries, and recurring mechanical faults are absent. The clean sheet should not lull a buyer into overlooking wear inherent to a high-mileage executive saloon. A physical inspection must still assess structural integrity, front and rear suspension articulation, and brake component thickness, as MOT passes with no advisories often miss incipient wear below test thresholds. The December 2024 failure carrying zero defects remains an administrative oddity. Prospective purchasers should request the failure reason from the seller and verify the V5C. Given the mileage, scrutinise tyre tread depth and wiper condition as consumables likely replaced outside test cycles. Overall the record supports a fundamentally sound example, but independent mechanical appraisal remains prudent before purchase.
