2017 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · JH11 DPH

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 30 June 2025 at 66,670 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of clean passes dating back to 2023, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the accumulation of significant mechanical or structural faults during annual DVSA inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use premium executive vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between July 2023 and June 2025, the car covered 16,111 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage profile. The only anomaly in the record occurred in July 2022, where the vehicle failed a test at 42,311 miles just five days before a successful retest at 42,329 miles. This suggests a minor, isolated issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect. Given that the MOT history shows no recurring advisories for wear or corrosion, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. On a Mercedes of this age, the condition of rubber-based suspension bushes and bushings should be checked for cracking or perishing despite the low mileage. You should also inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or uneven wear, as long periods of low-mile use can sometimes lead to corrosion on the braking system. The clean record suggests the vehicle has been cared for, but the structural integrity of the chassis remains the primary area to verify visually in person.
