2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · LR67 YOT

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, as the March 5 2026 MOT at 260,517 miles recorded no defects and no advisories. All previous tests from February 2024 through March 2026 have likewise passed without recorded failures, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no evidence of recurring mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation has been rapid for a nine‑year‑old model, rising from 204,135 miles in February 2024 to 260,517 miles by March 2026, a gain of roughly 56,000 miles in 14 months. The interval between the February 2024 and August 2024 tests was six months and 15,000 miles, while the subsequent March 2025 test covered 16,000 miles in six months, suggesting consistent, high‑usage driving rather than extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus on suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, which may show wear after high mileage, and inspect the rear brakes for binding calipers and the condition of brake discs for scoring or corrosion. Structural rust on the chassis, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as well as the integrity of the exhaust system and emissions output, merit close examination given the vehicle’s age and mileage profile. Overall, the MOT record demonstrates reliable upkeep and a clean defect history, but the high annual mileage warrants a thorough in‑person inspection of the listed mechanical and structural elements before purchase.
