2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · LS67 YLM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a clean record across its two most recent inspections. The MOT test conducted on 27 February 2024 at 117,247 miles returned with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from a history of minor faults to a clean pass suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the most recent owner. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-frequency usage, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per annum over its nine-year life. Between July 2021 and February 2024, the vehicle covered 29,435 miles, showing a significant increase in activity compared to the earlier years of ownership. While this high mileage puts accelerated wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, the regularity of the testing suggests the car has not been stationary for long periods, which mitigates the risk of fluid degradation or seal failure associated with low-mileage vehicles. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry and braking system. The July 2021 test at 87,812 miles flagged play in both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm ball joints, alongside worn rear brake discs. Although these issues were cleared in subsequent tests, the high mileage suggests that these rubber components and metal joints are nearing the end of their service life. Given the age and distance, a thorough check for play in the control arms and an assessment of the remaining pad thickness is essential to ensure the previous wear patterns have not recurred.
