2017 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · MR52 JPD

The most recent MOT on 11 May 2026 shows the car passed overall, but it failed on tyre tread depth – both rear tyres were below the legal 1.6 mm minimum. This is the only defect recorded in the entire MOT history. Across the last three years the MOTs have been clean aside from the tyre issue, indicating no recurring mechanical problems with brakes, suspension, or emissions. The pattern appears stable; there are no new faults emerging, but the tyre wear suggests the current set may be nearing the end of its service life. At roughly 54,300 miles for a 2017 model, the vehicle averages about 6,000 miles per year, which is typical for its age. The mileage does not point to excessive wear, but it also does not guarantee that major components are untouched – it simply reflects average use. For a buyer, the priority is to inspect the tyres closely. Verify tread depth on all four wheels, check for uneven wear that could hint at alignment or suspension issues, and confirm that the tyres are the correct size and type for the car. While the MOT record shows no other defects, a visual check of the brakes, suspension bushings, and under‑car condition is advisable to ensure nothing hidden has developed since the last test. In summary, the car’s condition trend is stable, the mileage is normal for its age, and the sole safety concern is the rear tyre tread depth.
