2014 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · JO51 PJW

The vehicle displays a clean and stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT conducted on 26 April 2025 at 60,170 miles resulting in a clear pass with no defects recorded. This outcome is consistent with the preceding three annual inspections, which also returned zero advisories or failures. The absence of recurring mechanical issues or component degradation over the last three years suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no evidence of neglect or deferred repairs. At 60,170 miles over a twelve-year lifespan, the vehicle averages approximately 5,014 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The mileage accumulation is steady, showing an increase of roughly 9,800 miles between the May 2023 and April 2024 tests, followed by an 8,593-mile increase leading up to the April 2025 inspection. There are no concerning gaps in the testing history, and the proximity of the January 2023 and May 2023 tests indicates a change in ownership or a pre-sale preparation period rather than a mechanical failure. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically suffer from age-related deterioration rather than high-mileage wear. Given the low annual usage, examine the rubber suspension bushes, engine mounts, and flexible brake hoses for signs of dry rot or cracking, as these components perish over time regardless of mileage. While the MOT record is exemplary, verify the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. Ensure the electronic parking brake functions correctly and check for any signs of water ingress in the cabin, as low-mileage luxury vehicles can occasionally develop issues with door seals or drainage channels during extended storage.
