2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · SP13 ALY

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-10-09 MOT at 103,020 miles recording a pass and no defects. Subsequent tests from 2024 to 2022 also passed, with no recorded issues. The 2022-10-24 test failed but no defects were listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor non-technical failure. Overall, the absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults indicates consistent maintenance. The mileage of 103,020 miles over nine years aligns with an average annual usage of 11,447 miles, reflecting typical wear for the vehicle’s age. MOT tests were conducted annually, with mileage increasing steadily by approximately 12,000–14,000 miles each year. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, implying regular use and adherence to testing schedules. The clean record from 2023 onward suggests no urgent mechanical concerns, though older tests from 2022 predate the current mileage. A physical inspection should focus on suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over time without MOT detection. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these can develop gradually. Structural integrity, particularly underbody rust or panel damage, remains critical to assess, as MOTs do not always capture such issues. The 2022 failure, though unrecorded, warrants scrutiny to confirm no unresolved technical problems.
