Our Verdict
This 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-class shows mixed reliability signals. While the 2023 MOT was passed with no defects, recurring tyre and wheel issues from 2021-2022 suggest potential maintenance risks. A cautious purchase is advised with thorough pre-purchase inspection.
Prioritise a full mechanical inspection focusing on wheel alignment and suspension components, given the repeated wheel distortion failures. Check service records for any documented repairs to these issues. Negotiate a price discount to account for the 2022 MOT failures. Be wary of potential hidden costs from repeated tyre replacements. Verify the vehicle's history for any accident reports, as wheel distortion could indicate past collisions.
As a 1.9L diesel, the vehicle likely achieves 40-50 mpg on the motorway. Road tax would be £140 annually (2023/24 rate for diesel vehicles over 15 years). Insurance groups for Mercedes E-classes typically range from 20-30, resulting in annual premiums of £800-£1,200. Major maintenance like brake pad replacement (£200-£400 per axle) and tyre replacements (£100-£150 each) should be budgeted. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,600.
Thoroughly examine the front wheels and tyres for signs of repeated distortion or uneven wear. Check suspension components for damage or wear that could cause alignment issues. Inspect brake pads for uneven wear patterns. Verify that all wheel bearings and axles are in good condition. Review service records to confirm if previous wheel alignment or suspension repairs were carried out. Check for any signs of bodywork damage that might correlate with the wheel distortion issues.
The vehicle has a recent clean MOT but carries a history of tyre and wheel problems. At 83,677 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for its age. No model-specific reliability data is available, but the repeated wheel distortion issues may indicate structural concerns warranting closer scrutiny.
No aggregate reliability data available for the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-class. However, the repeated wheel and tyre issues on this specific vehicle suggest potential structural or alignment problems requiring investigation.
