2014 MERCEDES-BENZ S-Class3.5L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent passing record across the last five inspections. The most recent test on 18 June 2026 at 174,825 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This clean result sheet suggests a high standard of ongoing maintenance, as the vehicle has avoided the common mechanical failures or structural regressions that typically affect high-mileage luxury of this age. The mileage reflects consistent and high usage, averaging approximately 14,500 miles per year over the twelve-year period. There is a notable increase in activity between April 2023 (144,745 miles) and June 2024 (161,843 miles), where the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles in just enough months. However, the mileage accumulation has remained steady through the subsequent tests, indicating the car is likely used for motorway commuting, which is generally less taxing on the drivetrain and suspension compared to frequent stop-start city driving. Despite the clean MOT history, the high cumulative mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection of the S-Class's complex systems. A buyer should specifically evaluate the air suspension components for signs of leakage or sagging, as these are high-cost failure points at this distance. Given the vehicle's age and usage, checking for corrosion on the carcarriage and the condition of rubber suspension bushes is essential, as the MOT does not capture internal oil leaks or minor rubber degradation until they reach a failure threshold.
