2014 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · AE14 NBF

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class demonstrates a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, passing every recorded MOT without a single defect or advisory. The most recent test on 18 October 2025 at 117,029 miles returned a completely clean bill of health, confirming the vehicle currently meets all structural and mechanical roadworthiness standards. This unbroken string of flawless passes suggests a previous owner who addressed issues proactively rather than allowing faults to accumulate. Mileage accumulation remains highly consistent and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the test on 3 December 2021 at 89,964 miles and the test on 2 November 2023 at 102,383 miles, the car covered roughly 12,400 miles over two years. The most recent annual cycle shows a slight reduction in use, with only 5,809 miles covered between the November 2024 test at 111,220 miles and the October 2025 test at 117,029 miles. This equates to an average annual mileage of approximately 9,752 miles, reflecting standard domestic use rather than high-mileage commercial work or prolonged standing. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential given the vehicle's age and six-figure mileage. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components endure significant fatigue over 117,000 miles and can fail between annual tests without triggering an MOT advisory until severe. Brake disc thickness and caliper operation also warrant a hands-on check, as binding calipers or lipping on the discs often develop gradually. Finally, inspect the underbody and suspension mounts for any signs of corrosion or structural degradation, which can compromise long-term integrity even if the vehicle currently passes its emissions and roadworthiness checks.
