2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · DR03 ADE

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 7 February 2026 at 163,212 miles where it passed with no recorded defects. This consistent string of clean results over the last five tests suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard. The absence of advisories or failures across these records indicates that critical mechanical and structural components have remained within operational parameters. The mileage profile reveals a significant increase in usage over the last two years. Between February 2024 (94,867 miles) and February 2025 (158,378 miles), the car covered 63,511 miles in a single twelve-month period, a sharp departure from the earlier annual average of roughly 9,000 miles seen in the preceding years. While the overall average of 18,135 miles per year is high for a nine-year-old Mercedes, it places substantial strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. Given the high mileage and recent rapid accumulation, a physical inspection must focus on components prone to accelerated wear under heavy use. A buyer should examine the condition of the suspension arms and shock absorbers for signs of leaking or play, as the high mileage often stresses rubber components. Although the MOT records passed without defects, the brake discs and pads should be checked for thinning or uneven wear, and the chassis should be inspected for any emerging corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the high-frequency use.
