2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · DA64 VPC

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent MOT pass on 23 February 2024 at 122,516 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable as no defects were recorded at that test. The history shows no recurring mechanical or structural advisories across the available entries, indicating the car has not displayed worsening faults over the recorded period. A prior failure on 15 February 2024 at 121,181 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component issue. Mileage accumulation has been uneven yet broadly typical for a 2014 vehicle averaging around 10,210 miles per year. The record jumps from 42,188 miles on 10 December 2021 to 85,387 miles by 21 February 2023, an increase of over 43,000 miles in roughly fourteen months, pointing to a phase of heavy use. From February 2023 to February 2024 the odometer rose only 37,129 miles, a slight easing of annual distance. The sparse five-entry history limits deep wear analysis, but clean passes aside from the unexplained 2024 failure imply basic upkeep was maintained. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the high-mileage spell between 2021 and 2023. The tester logged no corrosion or exhaust emission concerns, yet twelve years of service can hide structural rust beneath sills and subframes not visible in MOT data. Verify the reason for the February 2024 failure with the issuing garage, as the absence of recorded defects leaves the cause unconfirmed. Given the two same-day tests in December 2021 at 42,185 and 42,188 miles, the owner likely rectified a minor fault and retested immediately, showing willingness to act on failures. No pattern of skipped consumables or serious mechanical neglect emerges from the official record.
