2014 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · G1 TES

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 100,863 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a recurring pattern of neglect regarding basic consumables. While the car failed the 2025 test due to a nearside rear tyre with tread depth below the legal limit, the issue was rectified immediately to achieve a pass. This suggests the owner addresses faults only when prompted by testing requirements rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 74,967 miles and the October 2025 test at 100,863 miles, the car covered roughly 26,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest the vehicle sat for long periods, which generally benefits the integrity of rubber seals and brake components over time. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and wheels during physical inspection based on historical defects. The 2022 test flagged a slightly distorted offside front road wheel, which often indicates a past impact that could affect alignment or handling. Furthermore, the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear in 2023 and 2025 suggest potential wheel geometry issues or worn suspension bushes that are causing premature tyre degradation. Check the current condition of all four tyres for uneven wear to ensure these issues have not returned since the last pass.
