2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · LR17 VGX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 February 2026 at 66,060 miles. The maintenance trend, however, shows a worsening condition of the rear tyres, with repeated advisories on edge wear and a prior rear‑wheel fracture at 42,852 miles in March 2023. The overall status remains acceptable, but the recurring rear‑tyre issues indicate that wear management has been inconsistent. Mileage accumulation follows the expected pattern for a 2017 model, averaging roughly 7,300 miles per year. The interval from February 2024 (50,240 miles) to February 2025 (57,086 miles) reflects a typical increase of about 6,800 miles, while the earlier period from October 2020 (28,665 miles) to January 2022 (36,331 miles) shows a comparable rate. The record is complete, with no unexplained gaps between tests. A buyer should inspect the rear tyre condition closely, looking for edge wear, cracking, and uneven tread that the advisories suggest. The history of a fractured rear road wheel warrants a thorough examination of the wheel hub, suspension mounting points, and brake caliper brackets for corrosion or fatigue. Checking the rear suspension bushes and brake disc condition is also prudent, as the repeated rear‑tyre stress can affect alignment and component life. Overall, the car remains mechanically sound, but the tyre wear trend signals that regular replacement and alignment checks will be required to maintain safety and performance.
