2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LR14 DZW

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent inspection. The June 2025 test at 64,165 miles shows a pass with no recorded defects, following a failed attempt on the same date. This suggests that any minor non-compliance identified during the initial June 2025 test was rectified immediately prior to the successful retest. The absence of advisories across the last four years indicates a consistent approach to preventative maintenance and a lack of recurring issues regarding structural integrity or braking systems. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 12-year-old Mercedes-Benz, averaging approximately 5,347 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 48,849 miles in July 2022 to 64,165 miles in June 2025. This low-mileage usage pattern suggests the vehicle has seen light, intermittent use rather than heavy motorway or urban commuting. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such low usage can sometimes lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components due to extended periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of consumables that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Given the low annual mileage, I recommend checking for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox and inspecting all suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or degradation. The lack of recorded advisories for corrosion or brake wear is a positive indicator, but the buyer should still examine the underside for surface rust and ensure the brake discs show no signs of heavy pitting from infrequent use.
