2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · E3 WRH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 98,236 miles resulted in a pass despite a windscreen-related defect and a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. This pattern mirrors the March 2025 test, suggesting that the owner only addresses components once they approach failure thresholds or trigger an advisory status. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the March 2022 test at 65,480 miles and the March 2024 test at 86,914 miles, the car covered 21,434 miles, showing steady usage patterns. While the 2022 record was clean, the subsequent three years show an increasing frequency of wear and tear reports, which is typical for a luxury vehicle as it approaches the six-figure mark. A buyer must focus their inspection on the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2024 test flagged both front and rear brake discs as pitted or scored, which was followed by repeated advisories for uneven tyre wear across 2023, 2025, and 2026. This persistent edge wear on tyres often indicates worn suspension bushes or misaligned components that have not been rectified. The physical condition of the brake discs should be checked for minimum thickness and excessive glazing, as the record suggests they have been operated with long service intervals.
