2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · LS67 YLH

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record shows a significant gap in recent testing. The most recent recorded MOT occurred in September 2021 at 82,552 miles with a clean pass, indicating the car met all safety standards at that time. However, because the current date is June 2026, the vehicle is over four years overdue for an MOT, leaving the current mechanical condition and structural integrity unverified by official DVSA testing. The mileage pattern appears consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,172 miles per year. A clear interval of 28,666 miles exists between the November 2018 test at 53,886 miles and the September 2021 test at 82,552 miles. This suggests a steady usage pattern of roughly 9,500 miles per annum during that period. The lack of data since late 2021 makes it impossible to determine if the mileage has accelerated over the last five years. A buyer must pay close attention to the faults identified during the September 2021 failure, just five days before the successful pass. The tester flagged missing wheel bolts on all wheels, thin front brake pads, and a sharp edge on the offside rear bodywork. While these were seemingly rectified, the presence of missing wheel bolts suggests a lapse in basic safety inspections by the previous owner. A physical inspection is required to ensure all fasteners are correctly torqued and that the braking system has not suffered further wear since the last recorded check. Given the elapsed time since the last test, a thorough check of suspension bushes, rubber components, and fluid degradation is essential. Long periods of standing can lead to corrosion on brake discs and perished hydraulic lines. The buyer should also verify the windscreen washer system, which was previously noted as failing for providing insufficient liquid.
