2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · 13 BC

This vehicle demonstrates a consistent track record of roadworthiness, characterized by a stable history of passes and a lack of significant mechanical failures. The most recent inspection on 2026-06-19 resulted in a clean pass with no defects, following a pattern where only routine wear-and-tear items have been flagged. There is no evidence of chronic structural corrosion or recurring component failure, suggesting a mechanically stable platform. With 80,689 recorded miles over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,724 miles per annum. This usage pattern is typical for a luxury saloon of this vintage and suggests a balanced duty cycle that avoids the risks associated with both excessive high-mileage wear on the drivetrain and the degradation often found in vehicles that have spent prolonged periods stationary. The steady accumulation of mileage aligns with the gradual wear seen in the MOT history. While the latest test was clean, the history highlights a cycle of consumable wear focusing on the braking system and tyres. Previous advisories noted thin inner brake pads and worn front discs in 2023, as well as perishing front tyres and rear tyre wear in subsequent years. A prospective buyer should verify that these items have been replaced rather than simply managed. During a test drive, pay close attention to the brake pedal for any vibration or judder, which would indicate that the previously flagged disc wear has progressed to warping. Further attention should be given to the glass and exterior trim based on the 2022 records of windscreen chips and a delaminating registration plate. Ensure the windscreen is free of cracks that could obstruct the driver's view or fail a future inspection. Additionally, check the current tyre tread depths and sidewall integrity, specifically looking for the cracking or perishing noted in earlier tests, to ensure the vehicle maintains optimal grip and safety.
