2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · BS03 AMO

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident across the recorded history, with the vehicle maintaining a relatively clean profile through several years of testing. The most recent test on 03 May 2025 resulted in a pass, though it introduced the first recorded advisories regarding tyre wear. Aside from isolated electrical failures involving a headlamp dipped beam in 2024 and a stop lamp in 2020, the vehicle has demonstrated a stable testing trend without recorded structural or mechanical failures in recent years. The recorded mileage of 90,661 miles for a 2014 model indicates an average annual usage of approximately 7,555 miles. This level of accumulation is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a consistent usage pattern rather than excessive high-speed motorway running or prolonged periods of stationary use. Mechanically, this moderate mileage means that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-wear thresholds, consumable items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and rubber seals will be subject to standard age-related degradation. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre condition noted in the 2025 advisory, specifically the nearside and offside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit or unevenly on the edges. During a test drive, it is essential to monitor for any signs of uneven tread wear or pulling to one side, which could indicate issues with wheel alignment, worn suspension bushings, or incorrect tyre pressures. The uneven wear on the edges specifically warrants an inspection of the rear suspension geometry and the condition of the control arms to ensure there is no excessive play. Beyond the tyre advisories, the history of minor electrical failures suggests that while the vehicle is generally compliant, a thorough check of the exterior lighting system is necessary. Ensure all dipped beams, indicators, and brake lights function correctly without flickering. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection of the brake pads and discs is also advised to ensure that the wear patterns align with the relatively steady mileage accumulation and that no binding calipers are contributing to premature tyre edge wear.
