2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · HJ55 ACE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The latest MOT test conducted on 26 January 2026 at 111,275 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes over the preceding three years, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained to a sufficient standard to avoid recurring testing failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per annum. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered 13,093 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or excessive strain. A brief anomaly occurred in January 2024 when the vehicle failed a test at 103,665 miles but successfully retested just three days later at the same mileage. This suggests a minor consumable issue or a simple adjustment that was addressed immediately, without indicating a pattern of mechanical decline. While the record is clean of recorded advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas typical for a Mercedes of this age and mileage. Given the 111,000-mile mark, checking the condition of the suspension bushes and control arm joints is essential, as these often degrade over time. Inspect the brake discs for thinning and any signs of binding calipers, as the MOT does not measure pad thickness in depth. Checking the chassis for early corrosion, particularly around the subframe and mounting points, will ensure the structural integrity remains as sound as the digital history suggests.
