2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LS64 EVM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward mechanical wear in the most recent inspection. While the car passed its 2021 through 2024 tests without defects, the August 2025 test at 91,127 miles identified several developing issues across multiple systems. This suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase where components require proactive attention after a long period of relatively clean operation. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for an executive saloon, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between August 2023 at 58,741 miles and August 2025 at 91,127 miles, where the car covered over 32,000 miles in just two years. This increased activity likely correlates with the appearance of the mechanical faults noted in the latest record, as components have undergone much higher stress than in previous intervals. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking and suspension assemblies. The 2025 record flagged front brake discs as pitted and scored, alongside a parking brake that only barely met the efficiency threshold, indicating a need for immediate adjustment or component replacement. Furthermore, the offside front wheel bearing with slight play is a developing fault that requires monitoring to ensure it does not progress to failure or excessive noise. The cut on the nearside front tyre should also be monitored for further degradation to ensure the structural integrity of the rubber remains intact.
