2017 Mercedes-Benz E 4.0L Petrol · SF17 ACA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 22 October 2024 at 47,153 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This clean record across the last three tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that critical components are operating without immediate failure or significant degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,239 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 43,225 miles and the 2023 test at 44,108 miles, the car covered only 883 miles, while it added another 3,045 miles prior to the October 2024 test. This pattern suggests infrequent use or short journeys, which typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to rubber-based component perish or brake corrosion due to periods of inactivity. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components often affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check for flat spots on the tyres and signs of surface rust on the brake discs if the car sat stationary for long periods. Additionally, the suspension bushes should be inspected for cracking or tearing as age can degrade rubber regardless of low mileage. The lack of any structural corrosion advisories in the records suggests the chassis remains well-preserved for its age.
