2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · RO64 HNN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive servicing rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in August 2025 at 210,535 miles resulted in a failure due to an inoperative engine management indicator light and exposed cords on the offside rear tyre. While the vehicle passed the following day after repairs, the presence of an MIL fault suggests underlying electronic or sensor issues that were previously ignored. The overall pattern indicates that components are often only addressed once they reach the point of a test failure. At 210,535 miles, this 2014 Mercedes has covered significant ground, averaging approximately 17,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent, heavy usage, with nearly 9,000 miles clocked between July 2024 and August 2025, and another 9,000 miles in the preceding year. This high rate of accumulation places extreme stress on the drivetrain and chassis components. The frequent flagging of suspension bushes and tyres reflects the reality of constant operation under high mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the record noted worn suspension arm bushes on both sides in July 2024. These issues are common on high-mileage luxury cars but lead to degraded handling if left. The recurring history of uneven tyre wear and inner-edge thinning across 2022 and 2023 suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn shocks that have not combination fully rectified. Furthermore, the thin enough pads noted in 2023 necessitate a current check of the remaining material and disc condition to ensure the system has not been neglected since the last advisory.
