2017 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · JAM 1R

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz E presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 September 2025 at 82,122 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed with clean sheets. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,125 miles, typical for a nine-year-old executive saloon. The records show steady accumulation: 54,430 miles in August 2022, 66,014 by August 2023, 78,271 in August 2024, and 82,122 by September 2025. A failed test on 16 August 2023 at 65,763 miles preceded the pass nine days later at 66,014 miles, yet the failure listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or measurement anomaly rather than mechanical neglect. The sparse, clean record implies the previous keeper followed scheduled testing without deferred consumable replacement flagged by the tester. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as these items draw no MOT advisories yet accumulate fatigue with age. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity flags in the DVSA data is reassuring, but standing moisture and undertray concealment can mask early rust on Mercedes subframes. Given the clean pass history and ordinary mileage, this vehicle shows no evidence of skipped basic upkeep. Verify service stamps against the 82,122-mile figure and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition, the only consumables prone to slip between annual tests without formal advisory.
