2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · PJZ 202

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 24 February 2026 at 274,643 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 20 February 2025 at 159,693 miles and 29 February 2024 at 148,792 miles also passed cleanly, indicating no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults across the available record. The single failure on 28 February 2024 at 148,770 miles listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded cause rather than a technical fault, with the car passing the following day. The recorded mileage shows an exceptional annual average of roughly 30,500 miles for a nine-year-old 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, far above typical private-use levels. A notable gap exists between the 26 September 2022 test at 128,431 miles and the February 2024 entries near 148,800 miles, after which the odometer jumped by over 114,000 miles within twelve months to the 2025 figure. Such rapid accumulation implies sustained motorway or commercial-style operation, placing elevated strain on drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake discs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the high mileage and sparse history prior to 2024. The clean advisory record offers no flagged wear on coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions, but the absence of interim tests between 2022 and 2024 limits longitudinal visibility of consumable replacement cycles. Given the 2026 pass with no defects and consistent clean outcomes when tested, the vehicle shows no documented worsening pattern. Prospective owners must verify service intervals for tyres, wiper blades, and fluid changes were maintained despite the MOT silence, as high-mileage use accelerates those consumables beyond the scope of annual testing.
