Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this specific black 2.1L diesel, pay close attention to the suspension and steering. The 2026 MOT noted deterioration in the front lower anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers, which is a common area for wear on high-mileage executive saloons. You should also check the condition of all four tyres, as the most recent record highlighted a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit.
Negotiate based on the documented maintenance needs. Given the 2025 and 2026 MOT results, the vehicle may require immediate investment in new tyres and suspension components. Always ask for evidence of recent brake servicing, as the 2025 MOT specifically flagged thin front brake pads.
As a 2143cc diesel, this E-Class is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will be influenced by its weight and engine size. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized diesel executive car.
Insurance groups for this model can vary significantly based on the driver profile, but the 2.1L engine typically sits in a mid-to-high bracket. Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz components tend to be higher than mainstream brands, particularly for suspension and braking systems which have appeared in the MOT history.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. The 2022 MOT noted that engine covers and under shields were restricting the view of certain components; ensure these are properly fitted and that no leaks are being masked by them.
Specifically check the front suspension for any knocking or clunking sounds, which could relate to the ball joint issues seen in the 2026 test. Additionally, inspect the wheel bearings, as a previous MOT in 2022 recorded slight play in the nearside front wheel bearing. Finally, verify the remaining tread depth on all tyres to ensure they meet the standards required by the recent MOT advisories.
This 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class diesel has covered 102,683 miles since its first registration in August 2014. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-and-tear items, including recent issues with anti-roll bar linkages and tyres. While it has passed its most recent tests, the increasing frequency of advisories as mileage climbs above 90,000 requires careful consideration.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Mercedes-Benz E-Class model to provide a comparative benchmark.
