2017 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · MA66 ACK

The vehicle is roadworthy on the basis of its last MOT, which was recorded on 18 October 2024 at 45,221 miles and returned a PASS with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable; the only recorded issues are a front brake disc wear advisory from February 2024 and an offside front inner brake pad wear notice from February 2021, both of which were noted as within acceptable limits at the time. Mileage accumulation has been modest, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year over the nine‑year life of the car, a figure well below typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the February 2024 test (44,118 miles) and the October 2024 test (45,221 miles) shows about 1,100 miles added in eight months, indicating light duty. However, the most recent MOT from October 2024 is now over 21 months old, meaning the vehicle no longer holds a current certificate as of 28 July 2026. The buyer should also inspect the braking system, checking the front disc condition for uneven wear and the offside front inner pads for thinning beyond the warning wire. The low mileage may mask storage‑related corrosion on suspension bushes, coil springs and under‑body components, so a thorough visual and mechanical check of those areas is advisable. Finally, examine the exhaust for rust, the battery terminals for corrosion, and confirm that all fluid levels and seals are in good condition.
