MERCEDES-BENZ E2014 · 2.1L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. Following a single failure in May 2022, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has passed three consecutive annual MOT tests with no recorded defects. The most recent test conducted in May 2025 at 65,211 miles indicates that all primary mechanical and safety components currently operate within DVSA tolerances without advisory warnings. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,434 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 144 miles recorded between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests. This pattern suggests the car has been used for short trips, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine-related components. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of components affected by time rather than distance, such as rubber-based seals, hoses, and fluid chemistry. While the clean MOT history suggests diligent ownership, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components prone to low-mileage neglect. Check for signs of cracking or perish in in suspension bushes and tyres, which can dry out when not driven frequently. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often allows calipers to bind or seize. Given the vehicle's age, verify the structural integrity of the underbody for surface rust to ensure that the low mileage has not masked the chassis despite the lack of recorded mechanical failures.
