2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Electric diesel · AD60 BOS

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 60,419 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure at 60,390 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating a likely administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in December 2024 at 52,815 miles, January 2024 at 51,298 miles, and February 2023 at 47,873 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing consistent mechanical condition across the recorded history. Recorded mileage sits at 60,419 over roughly twelve years, an average of about 5,035 miles per year and low for a 2014 executive saloon. The gap between the February 2023 test at 47,873 miles and the January 2024 test at 51,298 miles shows only 3,425 miles added in eleven months, with a further 1,517 miles to December 2024 and 7,604 miles across the following twelve months. Such low, uneven use suggests prolonged standing periods, which can accelerate rubber degradation in suspension bushes and brake caliper seizing despite the clean MOT record. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the brake calipers and flexible hoses, as low-mileage Mercedes of this era commonly develop binding from disuse. The underside and subframe warrant checks for corrosion, particularly around structural mounting points, since the MOT logged no advisories but testers may clear minor surface rust on a lightly used car. Verify the 12 December 2025 failure at 60,390 miles was a paperwork correction and obtain the VOSA refusal notice if available. Otherwise, the history implies a carefully stored vehicle with no recurring wear trends, though pre-purchase checks on tyres, brake disc condition, and suspension articulation remain prudent given the standing periods.
