2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · DS63 UPW

The 2025‑10‑13 MOT at 144,523 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record is stable. The 2023‑10‑06 pass at 89,019 miles also showed no defects, despite a failure recorded on 2023‑10‑04 at the same mileage, indicating that any previous faults were corrected before the subsequent test. The mileage trajectory reveals high usage for a 12‑year‑old Mercedes‑Benz E. From 47,462 miles in November 2021 to 51,326 miles in September 2022 the car covered roughly 3,864 miles in 11 months, then surged to 89,019 miles by October 2023 – an increase of 37,693 miles in the following year – and finally reached 144,523 miles by October 2025, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. The intervals between tests are irregular, with a 10‑month gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests and a two‑year gap between 2023 and 2025, suggesting periods of heavy use followed by relative inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the binding calipers and brake discs for uneven wear or scoring, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion that could compromise structural integrity. The exhaust system should also be checked for leaks or excessive emissions, as high mileage can accelerate wear in this area. A purchaser ought to verify that the suspension components show no excessive play, that the brakes operate smoothly without binding, and that there is no hidden structural corrosion, especially around the sills and subframes, before finalising the purchase.
