MERCEDES-BENZ S-Class2014 · 3.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile, passing its most recent inspection in April 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving, as the last three consecutive tests have resulted in clean passes. While there was a failure recorded in May 2023, the issue was rectified immediately before the re-test, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical requirements once they are identified by examiners. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 6,868 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between February 2022 and May 2023, where the car covered roughly 22,000 miles, followed by a more consistent period where over 20,000 miles were added in the final two years. This relatively low annual mileage generally indicates less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, though the long periods of potential standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the air suspension system, which is a common failure point on S-Class of this age and is not always captured in a standard test. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for brake corrosion and perished rubber bushings that can occur over time irrespective of distance driven. Additionally, verifying the chassis for any signs of structural rust is advisable to ensure that the low-frequency use has not masked underlying environmental damage.
