2017 Mercedes-Benz E 220 D AMG Line Auto 1.9L Diesel · KM17 KVR

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT conducted on 8 January 2026 at 106,451 miles yielding a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This is the freshest data point available, sitting just over five months before today's date, and it confirms the car currently meets all DVSA safety and emissions standards. The maintenance trend over the full history is stable and consistently positive, showing no recurring mechanical or structural failures across five recorded tests spanning nearly four years. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 2017 diesel saloon. Between the September 2022 pass at 62,575 miles and the January 2026 test at 106,451 miles, the car covered 43,876 miles in roughly three years and four months, averaging around 12,800 miles annually. That sits comfortably within normal use for a Mercedes-Benz E-Class diesel, which is frequently used for long-distance motorway work. The record shows no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation, and the annualised rate has remained relatively steady throughout the car's life. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The absence of advisories or failures does not guarantee the absence of wear, particularly on high-mileage components that may not yet have reached a testable failure threshold. Pay close attention to the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and drop links, as these deteriorate gradually on heavy saloons covering motorway miles. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or lipping, and check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking given the vehicle is now nine years old. Underneath, examine the subframes, sills, and exhaust system for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the rear arch areas and along the exhaust back box. The OM654 diesel engine is generally robust, but verify the condition of the dual-mass flywheel through clutch engagement and listen for any rattling at idle. The 9G-TRONIC automatic gearbox should shift cleanly through all gears with no hesitation or harsh engagement. A short test drive covering both urban and dual-carriageway conditions will reveal any latent issues the MOT may not have captured.
