2014 Mercedes-Benz E220 SE CDI Auto 2.1L Heavy oil · FXZ 8294

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 1 May 2026 at 94,332 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the maintenance trend appears unstable due to two consecutive failures in early 2026. Specifically, the car failed on 26 February 2026 at 93,654 miles and again on 29 April 2026 at 94,289 miles. Although the specific mechanical causes for these failures were not recorded in the provided data, the frequency of these recent failures suggests a sudden shift in the vehicle's mechanical reliability after years of clean results. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,861 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 38,877 miles in June 2018 to the current 94,332 miles. A notable period of lower usage occurred between January 2022 and January 2023, where the mileage only increased by 6,869 miles. More recent usage has accelerated, with the vehicle covering roughly 16,500 miles between December 2024 and May 2026. This recent increase in annual mileage may place higher demands on consumable components. Because the recent failures in 2026 lack specific defect descriptions, a physical inspection is necessary to identify what triggered the unsuccessful tests. A buyer should focus on the braking system, checking for binding calipers or worn discs, and inspect the suspension for perished bushes or leaking dampers. Given the recent increase in mileage, the condition of the tyres and the integrity of the exhaust system should also be verified. Detailed scrutiny of the underside for corrosion is advised to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the recent testing irregularities.
