2017 Mercedes-Benz E 2.0L Petrol · HX67 SYJ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The test conducted on 15 August 2025 at 47,973 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that any previous mechanical or structural issues were successfully addressed. While the history shows instances of failure, the current trend suggests a well-maintained vehicle where owners are proactive in rectifying identified faults to meet DVSA standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,330 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 33,138 miles and the August 2024 test at 39,977 miles, the car covered 6,839 miles. This consistent low usage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to high-mile counterparts, though low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the provided record does not detail the specific reasons for those failures. Given the recurring nature of these failures within short mileage intervals, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake system is necessary to ensure no lingering issues remain. One should also inspect for minor corrosion on the brake discs and underbody, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust or seized calipers if not driven frequently.
