2017 Mercedes-Benz E 220 D SE Premium Auto 1.9L Heavy oil · KT66 DYY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 September 2025 at 75,833 miles with no recorded defects. The sequence of tests shows a stable maintenance pattern; after a single failure in August 2023 the car returned to passing condition and has remained compliant through the subsequent two annual tests. Mileage has risen from 42,384 miles in May 2022 to 75,833 miles in September 2025, an average of roughly 8,400 miles per year. The increase of 12,058 miles between May 2022 and August 2023, followed by similar annual increments, indicates consistent use rather than prolonged storage. No abrupt spikes or long gaps appear in the record, suggesting the vehicle has been driven regularly and its wear has progressed in line with its age. A prospective buyer should focus on consumable and wear‑related components that are not captured by MOT defect listings. Inspect tyre tread depth and uniformity, as the MOT does not record tyre condition unless it falls below legal limits. Examine brake discs and pads for glazing or uneven wear, particularly the rear system that prompted the 2023 failure. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and mounting points for any creaking or play, as these items can deteriorate with mileage but often escape MOT detection. Verify the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, and look for any signs of structural rust around wheel arches and undercarriage. Finally, confirm that the vehicle’s service history aligns with the MOT outcomes; regular oil changes, filter replacements, and timely brake servicing would explain the clean record. A thorough visual and functional inspection of the items above will ensure that the car’s mechanical condition matches the favourable MOT trend.
