MERCEDES-BENZ E2014 · 2.1L Diesel

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2026-02-18 MOT at 62,525 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2025-04-22 (57,371 miles) and 2024-04-23 (50,297 miles) also passed without issues. A single failure in 2024-02-08 at 50,273 miles was recorded, though no defects were listed. This suggests either a procedural anomaly or a minor issue resolved before the subsequent pass. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the record, indicating consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 62,525 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 5,210 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage may reflect infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and rubber seals. Notably, the 2024-02-08 test occurred just 24 miles before the next MOT in April 2024, raising questions about the timing of inspections. The absence of defects in most tests implies the owner prioritized compliance, though sparse data between 2022 and 2024 limits insight into potential gaps in care. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, which may degrade during periods of inactivity. The exhaust system and brake components, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for corrosion or binding, as low mileage can mask wear. Structural integrity checks for rust or panel damage are also advised, as storage conditions may affect these areas. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the low mileage and intermittent testing suggest a need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical and structural soundness.
