2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · CA63 THX

This 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has a very recent MOT pass from 30 May 2026, following a failure just one day prior due to a structural defect in the offside rear tyre. While the most recent result is clean, the history shows a pattern of intermittent mechanical issues. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening rather than stable. In 2025, the car failed due to a binding rear brake and leaking shock absorbers. While the shock absorber issue was noted as "light misting," the recent failure for a tyre lump—which indicates structural separation—suggests that maintenance on consumables may be reactive rather than proactive. The mileage of 102,701 over 12 years averages roughly 8,558 miles per year. This is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests regular, moderate use rather than extreme high mileage or long periods of sitting idle. This level of usage generally implies that wear on suspension and drivetrain components should be consistent with its age, but it does not exempt the car from age-related degradation. The most significant risk is the recent appearance of structural tyre failure and previous brake binding issues. You should ensure that the recent tyre replacement was not just a quick fix but part of a broader check of the remaining tyres and the braking system.
