2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · KV14 MYD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 209,478 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability following a series of wear-related advisories and minor failures in the preceding years. While the latest test indicates a clean bill, the previous history suggests that the owner addresses faults only when specifically flagged by the tester rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 209,478 miles over twelve years, this Mercedes exhibits high-usage patterns, averaging approximately 17,400 miles annually. The data reveals a significant surge in usage between September 2023 and December 2024, where the car covered 27,533 miles in just fifteen months. This rapid accumulation of mileage places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components. The consistent high mileage indicates the vehicle was likely used for long-distance motorway driving, which accelerates the degradation of heavy-duty components. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with thinning pads and marginal parking brake efficiency between 2022 and 2024. The 2023 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that require verification. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and exhaust shielding is essential, as these parts often reach the end of their functional life at this mileage threshold.
