2017 Mercedes-Benz V 2.1L Diesel · OU17 ABZ

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz V presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 January 2026 at 34,305 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 8 January 2025 at 26,110 miles. The single failure in the record occurred on 7 January 2025 at 26,108 miles, yet the tester logged no defects; the vehicle passed the very next day with only two miles added, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 34,305 over roughly nine years, an average of about 3,812 miles per year and low for the vehicle's age. The history shows steady, light use: 15,636 miles at the 3 January 2023 test, 21,003 miles on 21 December 2023, then 26,108 and 26,110 across the two January 2025 entries, and 34,305 by January 2026. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no advisories or worn consumables ever flagged across five tests. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage implies long stationary periods that accelerate corrosion and rubber degradation. The clean record offers no flagged structural integrity concerns, but standing vehicles commonly develop binding calipers and underbody rust unseen in an MOT bay. Verify the January 2025 failure reason with DVSA, despite the no-defect log, and confirm service history matches the low-mileage pattern. Previous owners kept the van to a light-use schedule with no skipped tests, suggesting basic upkeep was maintained rather than neglected.
