2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · GU67 XFL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 126,219 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently achieved clean passes without recorded advisories or defects. While the record shows a failure just three miles prior to the February 2026 pass, the immediate re-test success suggests either a minor issue was rectified quickly or a false failure occurred rather than a deep-seated mechanical fault. At nine years old, the 126,219 miles recorded represents a high-usage profile averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with 13,000 miles covered between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, and another 11,000 miles logged between January 2025 and February 2026. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle has seen significant motorway use, which typically places less strain on the clutch and suspension components compared to short-distance city driving. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear items associated with high mileage Mercedes-Benz models. Inspect the front suspension bushings and control arms for signs of rubber tearing, as these often degrade after passing the hundred thousand mile mark. Check the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear, and examine the undercarriage for any signs of surface corrosion that the MOT tester may not have flagged as a structural failure yet.
