2017 Mercedes-Benz E 1.9L Diesel · WH17 BMY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward minor mechanical and consumable neglect. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 87,070 miles passed despite a non-excessive oil leak and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. This marks a departure from the clean records seen between 2020 and 2023, suggesting the vehicle is beginning to require more proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase from 29,349 miles in August 2020 to 87,070 miles in 2025. There was a significant jump of nearly 11,000 miles recorded between August 2023 and July 2024, which correlates with the appearance of multiple tyre-related advisories and an under tray obstructing the inspection during the July 2024 test. A buyer should specifically inspect the source of the oil leak identified in the 2025 test to ensure it is merely a weeping seal rather than a failing gasket or pressure issue. The recurring issues with uneven tyre wear and edges in 2024 and 2025 indicate potential alignment problems or worn suspension bushes that need a professional diagnostic check. Given that the under tray previously obstructed the inspection in 2024, a physical check is necessary to ensure there is no damage to the lower chassis or structural components beneath the plasticwork.
