2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · R123 AAA

The vehicle maintains a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 49,971 miles resulted in a pass despite a noted oil leak that was deemed not to be excessive. This follows a four-year period of clean passes between 2021 and 2024, suggesting that the mechanical components have remained in good condition without recurring failures or escalating advisories. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,164 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-impact usage patterns, with only 2,093 miles recorded between October 2024 and October 2025. While this low mileage typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and braking system, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components such as seals, hoses, and tyres, which are not always reflected in the mileage alone. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the source of the oil leak identified in the October 2025 test to determine if it is a minor gasket weeping or requires attention. Given the history of a buckled alloy wheel inner rim in 2017 and a structural tyre failure in 2020, a thorough check of the suspension geometry and tyre sidewall integrity is necessary. Because the car has sat for extended periods, verifying the condition of the brake lines and the fluid moisture is essential, as these components age despite the low odometer readings.
