2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · GX14 OMH

This 2014 Mercedes-Benz E has an average mileage for its age, suggesting consistent use rather than periods of standing. However, the vehicle's condition trend is worsening, with a significant increase in the number and severity of defects recorded in the most recent tests. The most recent MOT in October 2025 was only achieved after a failure. While it passed, the report lists several "advisories" that are effectively immediate maintenance needs, including play in both front wheel bearings and front tyres that are worn close to the legal limit. A recurring pattern of suspension and chassis wear is evident. There have been repeated issues with anti-roll bar linkage dust covers since 2022, and the most recent failure was caused by a fractured offside rear coil spring and a structural bulge in a rear tyre. This suggests a lack of preventative maintenance and a trend toward deteriorating suspension components. The combination of worn wheel bearings, pitted rear brake discs, and previous brake pipe corrosion indicates that the car is entering a phase of increased wear and tear consistent with its 127,797-mile odometer reading. A buyer should first inspect the front tyres and wheel bearings for noise or vibration. You must also check the condition of the rear brakes and inspect the suspension for any remaining play or signs of further corrosion on the brake pipes.
