2017 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LR02 SOR

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-28 at 50,615 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2025-03-22 (41,663 miles) and 2024-03-13 (27,644 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on the same date as the 2024-03-13 PASS (27,644 miles) suggests potential inconsistency in testing or resolution of a minor fault. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the recorded outcomes, implying consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 50,615 miles at 9 years old equates to approximately 5,624 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate component degradation through corrosion or fluid stagnation. Notably, the mileage increased from 18,639 miles in 2023 to 41,663 miles by 2025, a 23,024-mile jump over 24 months, followed by a 9,000-mile rise to 50,615 by 2026. Such fluctuations may indicate sporadic usage patterns, warranting closer inspection of wear on consumables and drivetrain components. While no defects were recorded, the low mileage and sporadic MOT history imply potential risks in systems prone to deterioration during inactivity, such as the battery, suspension bushes, and exhaust. A buyer should verify the condition of brake discs, coil springs, and corrosion in body panels, as these are common issues in vehicles with irregular usage. The absence of advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but the 2024 failed MOT without recorded faults warrants follow-up to confirm resolution of any underlying issues.
