2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · LT64 GGA

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-07 recorded a passed result with 198,509 miles. Key issues included a severely deteriorated offside front lower anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, which has been a recurring defect in prior inspections. A front oil leak was noted but classified as non-excessive. Undertrays were fitted, which may have obscured full visibility of some components. A pattern of anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover deterioration is evident across multiple MOTs. In 2025-05-01, both front sides showed severe damage, and by 2026-03-07, the offside front remained problematic. This suggests a persistent issue with these components, potentially indicating wear or exposure to road conditions. The 2022-04-15 MOT also noted a rear brake disc worn, pitted, or scored, though this was not serious. The trend for critical defects appears stable, with no new major issues in the most recent inspection. However, the recurring anti-roll bar defects and the 2026 oil leak highlight ongoing maintenance needs.
