2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 4.7L Petrol · DA08 VAS

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class presents a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 2 April 2026 at 54,821 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding three annual tests also passed with no advisories. The maintenance trend is therefore resolving positively, with no worsening mechanical or structural issues flagged across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 54,821 against an approximate nine-year age, equating to roughly 6,091 miles per year, which is typical for the vehicle class. The test on 11 May 2022 at 38,014 miles and the next on 9 May 2023 at 47,715 miles show near 10,000 miles added in that year, then a drop to 51,384 by 24 September 2024 and only 3,437 miles to April 2026. The record is sparse with just four entries and no gaps beyond normal annual cycles, and the clean sheets imply the previous owners kept consumables and core systems within tolerance. Given the absence of any flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, binding calipers, exhaust emissions failures, or corrosion advisories, the S-Class shows no recurring fault pattern requiring corrective action from the history. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, and verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades which fall outside MOT fail thresholds until worn. The low recent annual mileage suggests longer standing periods, so check for flat-spotted tyres and degraded fluids before purchase.
