2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 5.5L Petrol · SA 6032

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 2 June 2025 at 66,497 miles recorded no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This pattern suggests that the previous owners have been proactive with upkeep, as the car has avoided the common mechanical failures or structural deteriorations typically seen in S-Class models this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between October 2020 at 37,797 miles and June 2025 at 66,497 miles, the car covered 28,700 miles, showing a steady and light usage pattern. The intervals between tests are regular, with the vehicle being tested according to the standard annual schedule. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can occasionally lead to dry-rott rubber parts or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage use. A buyer must verify the condition of the suspension bushings and air bellows, as rubber can perish with age regardless of the distance driven. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for surface pitting or seizing, as infrequent use often leads to uneven wear on high-performance systems. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion on the subframe is also necessary to ensure structural integrity remains as sound as the digital record suggests.
