2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · AE14 WTT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 26 July 2025 at 179,382 miles. The test history shows a stable trend of compliance, with the most recent three annual inspections resulting in passes without recorded defects. While the vehicle failed an initial test on 18 June 2024, it secured a pass shortly thereafter on 1 July 2024, suggesting that any issues identified during that period were addressed promptly. At 12 years of age and with 179,382 miles recorded, the vehicle has accumulated an average of approximately 14,948 miles per year. This high-mileage profile indicates significant use, which typically accelerates the degradation of drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and engine ancillaries compared to lower-mileage examples. The consistency of the annual testing schedule demonstrates that the vehicle has remained in regular use throughout its lifespan, avoiding the potential risks associated with long-term storage. Despite the absence of recent advisories, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of major mechanical systems. Prospective buyers should prioritize checking the condition of the suspension arms and coil springs, as these components endure considerable stress at this mileage. Inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of heavy wear or scoring, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes for any signs of corrosion. Given the complexity of this Mercedes-Benz model, a detailed assessment of the electronic systems and transmission performance is also recommended to confirm that the lack of MOT advisories reflects current operational status rather than a lack of deep-level maintenance. Buying score: 68. Risk level: Low.
