2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · FP14 OKG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent period of clean MOT results. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 March 2026 at 168,102 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This follows a three-year streak of perfect passes starting from 2024, indicating that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical integrity in the short term. The single failure recorded in March 2023 at 150,870 miles was resolved immediately, as the car passed the test the following day. The mileage data reflects a consistent high-mileage pattern, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year over the twelve-year period. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 17,203 miles, showing a steady annual accumulation rather than periods of inactivity. This regularity suggests the car has been used for long-distance commuting, which often prevents issues associated with dry seals or brake corrosion from standing vehicles. However, the high cumulative mileage places significant stress on the heavy-duty components typical of the E-Class chassis. While the record is currently clean, a buyer must scrutinize the suspension and drivetrain components during a physical inspection. At 168,000 miles, control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs often show signs of fatigue that an MOT test does not capture. Check for oil leaks around the engine and gearbox, and inspect the steering rack for any of wear. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the brake rotors and the thickness of the pads is essential to ensure the high usage has not led to accelerated component thinning.
