2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 5.5L Petrol · LF17 AEP

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy; the most recent MOT on 14 May 2025 at 53,724 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance pattern after the earlier retest in 2024. Mileage has risen from 15,757 miles in March 2022 to 53,724 miles in May 2025, averaging roughly 5,900 miles per year – well below the typical annual mileage for a nine‑year‑old S‑Class. The increments between each test are consistent, and the duplicate entry on 15 May 2024 (Fail followed by Pass at 40,902 miles) suggests a quick remedial action that left no lasting fault on record. A prospective buyer should verify tyre tread depth and uniform wear, as tyre condition is not captured by the MOT. Inspect brake pads and discs for uneven wear or glazing, and feel for any play in the suspension bushings or coil springs that could indicate hidden fatigue. Examine the bodywork and under‑carriage for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and suspension mounting points, and confirm that exhaust emissions remain within limits. A review of the service history for any major component replacements will further clarify the vehicle’s long‑term reliability.
