2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · DA14 PLV

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 February 2025 at 74,834 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from February 2022 through February 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 21 February 2023 at 63,832 miles that recorded no defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,236 miles per year against the car's 2014 build date. The record shows steady accumulation: 58,526 miles in February 2022, 63,832 in February 2023, 69,534 in February 2024, and 74,834 in February 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence, and the clean test sheets across all five entries suggest the previous keeper kept basic servicing and consumable replacement up to date. Given the absence of any advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the entire history, no recurring mechanical faults emerge from the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as twelve years of age invites hidden rust that MOT testers may record only once penetration occurs. The same-day fail and pass in February 2023 warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code to confirm it was clerical. Otherwise the evidence points to a lightly used, well-maintained example with no flagged wear items requiring immediate attention at the 74,834-mile mark.
