2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · LR17 FSY

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on January 14, 2026, at 150,425 miles. The maintenance trend shows a consistent improvement following a single failure in late 2023. The absence of any defects or advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that the current owner is proactively addressing mechanical requirements and that the vehicle is operating in a good technical condition despite its high mileage. The mileage profile indicates high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 16,700 miles per year over its nine-year life. A significant surge in usage is evident between February 2022 at 44,011 miles and October 2023 at 107,190 miles, where the car covered over 63,000 miles in just 20 months. Since that period, the accumulation has continued with another 43,000 miles recorded by January 2026. This rapid deployment places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. While the MOT record is currently clean, the mileage necessitates a close check of the control arms, shock absorbers, and bushings for signs of perished rubber or leaking. Inspect the brake discs for thinning and signs of caliper binding, as the high annual mileage accelerates wear on these consumables. Additionally, verifying the service history against the recorded mileage intervals is essential to ensure the high engine load has not resulted in neglected oil changes.
