2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 3.0L Diesel · LC17 EYX

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on June 6, 2026 at 160,943 miles. This recent result follows a consistent streak of passes without recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The absence of any failures or advisories across the history suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and wear issues before they reached a critical point during the testing process. The mileage profile is high for a nine-year-old S-Class, averaging approximately 18,000 miles per annum. Between June 2022 (72,248 miles) and June 2026 (160,943 miles), the vehicle covered nearly 88,000 miles in just four years. This rapid accumulation suggests long-distance motorway use rather than short city trips, which generally reduces wear on the engine and clutch components. However, the high mileage places significant demand on heavy-duty components such as the air suspension, bushings, and drivetrain assemblies. Given the high mileage, an in-person inspection must focus on the condition of the air suspension bellows and control arm bushings for signs of per or tearing. While the MOT record shows no defects, the physical nature of these vehicles often leads to rubber degradation that a standard test might not catch. A buyer should also inspect the brake discs for excessive thinning and check for fluid leaks around the dampers, as the high usage rate accelerates the wear of these expensive consumables.
