2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · FG67 UTE

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the November 2024 test at 215,645 miles, where the DVSA record shows a pass issued on 22 November 2024 with no defects recorded. The same date also logs a failure entry at identical mileage with no defects listed, a known DVLA administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with every recorded test from August 2023 through November 2024 returning a clean pass and no advisories on suspension, brakes, corrosion, or emissions. Mileage stands at 215,645 against a 2017 build, equating to roughly 23,961 miles per year and marking this example as high-use for its class. The record shows 139,468 miles on 29 August 2023, rising to 141,769 by 29 November 2023, then 146,642 on 23 May 2024, before a sharp 69,003-mile jump to 215,645 by 22 November 2024. That late climb suggests either a data transcription error at test or intensive commercial-style running in the final six months. Prior to that, annual accumulation sat near factory expectation. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the age and high total mileage, despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc lip were not flagged, but testers only record visible excess at test moment. Verify the front and rear brake caliper operation and check for binding, as high-mileage Mercedes estates often hide sticky slides until pads wear unevenly. Confirm the November 2024 failure-with-no-defects line with DVLA before purchase, since the duplicate same-day entry can complicate resale or finance checks. The prior owner clearly kept the car to test standard with no recorded neglect, yet the unexplained mileage spike warrants a drivetrain health check and gearbox fluid review before commitment.
