2017 Mercedes-Benz E 220 D AMG Line Premium Auto 1.9L Diesel · MW17 ACZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-04-26 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 34,628 miles. The consistent pass history since 2022—spanning four annual tests without advisories or failures—indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the absence of defects does not preclude hidden wear. The final test date is just under a year old, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age, as it suggests the buyer should verify recent service records for non-MOT-related maintenance, particularly on high-wear components like suspension bushes and brake calipers. The recorded mileage of 34,628 miles over nine years—approximately 3,848 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this class, typically averaging 8,000–12,000 miles per year. The gaps between tests are regular, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity, though the 2021–2022 interval (20,698 to 27,266 miles in just over a year) stands out as slightly higher than the rest. This pattern could imply either light usage or extended storage, which may have mitigated some wear but could also mean fluids and consumables have not been refreshed as frequently as recommended. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—since these are not routinely tested and can degrade silently. The brakes, though never failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has spent time stationary. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody should also be examined, as prolonged low-mileage periods can accelerate rust formation in damp conditions. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system and catalytic converter, as emissions-related failures are not uncommon in diesel models of this age, even when the vehicle passes MOT tests.
