2017 Mercedes-Benz E 220 D SE Auto 1.9L Diesel · GD66 XEM

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection on 16 May 2026 at 153,741 miles resulted in no defects, maintaining a stable trend of maintenance over the last five years. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents mechanical failures or safety issues from reaching the DVSA minimum testing criteria. The mileage profile reflects high annual usage, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per year over its nine-year life. Data shows steady accumulation, such as the 8,501 miles covered between February 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 8,474 miles between March 2025 and May 2026. This regular usage often indicates the vehicle was used for long-distance commuting rather than sitting stationary, which typically benefits internal engine components. The lack of any recorded advisories across these tests implies that previous owners proactively addressed wear and tear before they became failure points. Given the high mileage and the lack of recorded faults, an in-person inspection should focus on components subject to high-mileage stress. A buyer must verify the condition of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, as these often degrade after 150,000 miles. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for thinning or uneven wear, despite the MOT showing no binding issues. Additionally, the automatic gearbox should be tested for any fluid leaks or erratic shifts, as high-frequency motorway use can lead to seal degradation that is not captured during a standard MOT test.
