Buyer's Guide & Inspection Advisory
Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a low-mileage executive saloon with an exceptionally clean MOT record. This specific vehicle represents a well-used example of the model generation.
When inspecting this specific vehicle, the primary focus should be verifying the mileage consistency, as the car covered only about 1,300 miles between 2024 and 2025. Ensure the service history reflects annual oil-based intervals rather than just mileage-based ones to account for low use. Check for signs of rubber component degradation, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from dry seals if not driven regularly.
Given the model's aggregate data points towards suspension arms, perform a thorough test drive to listen for any knocks or rattles over uneven surfaces. While this car has no recorded MOT failures, suspension components are a common weak point for the E-Class generation and should be inspected for wear on the bushings and arms.
The 2143cc diesel engine is designed for high efficiency, typically achieving 45-55 mpg on mixed routes. Owners should expect mid-to-high insurance groups typical of executive German saloons, with tax bands based on the specific CO2 emissions rating.
Annual running costs are estimated between £1,200 and £1,600, covering fuel, tax, and routine maintenance. Maintenance costs can be higher than average due to premium parts pricing compared to smaller hatchbacks.
Inspect the front suspension area, specifically the control arms and bushings, as aggregate data identifies these as a top reason for MOT failures on this model. Even though this vehicle AL08AAN has passed its tests without defects since 2021, check for any uneven tyre wear which could indicate alignment issues. .Check the diesel particulate filter (DPF) health, as low-mileage diesel engines can sometimes face issues if the car has only been used for short trips. Ensure the engine operates smoothly without any warning lights, noting that engine-related failures are statistically significant elsewhere.
This 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class shows very low usage at 68,363 miles, which is significantly below the fleet average for its age. The MOT history from 2021 to the present is remarkably consistent, with four consecutive passes and zero recorded defects or advisories. Combined with the 2.2-litre diesel engine, it offers a high-value proposition for long-distance motorway cruising.
The Mercedes E-Class generally maintains a strong reputation, though aggregate data suggests suspension components and engine sensors are common areas of concern.
