2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LR64 XVY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 202,098 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a remarkably stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical issues before they reached a failing threshold, maintaining the car's integrity despite its high mileage. The mileage profile reflects consistent and high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per annum. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 68,658 miles, moving from 133,440 to 202,098 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car was likely used for long-distance motorway driving, which typically results in less wear on the clutch and gearbox compared to city driving, though the total mileage still places significant long-term stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. Despite the clean MOT records, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components prone to age-related fatigue. A buyer should scrutinise the control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs for signs of fractures or excessive play, as these components often degrade after 200,000 miles. The braking system should also be checked for caliper seizing or thinning discs, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than overall remaining component life. Furthermore, inspecting the chassis for corrosion around subframe mounting points is essential to ensure the structural integrity of the vehicle has not been compromised by exposure to the elements.
