2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 5.5L Petrol · T8 COS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record in recent inspections. The most recent test conducted on 28 November 2025 at 64,003 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows consecutive clean passes in early 2024 and early 2025, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have maintained acceptable standards over the last year of operation. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old S-Class, averaging approximately 5,334 miles annually. There is a visible gap in records between November 2021 at 48,346 miles and January 2023 at 55,488 miles, where the vehicle covered roughly 7,000 miles over fourteen months. While the low annual mileage suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of standing associated with such low-use vehicles can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyres, as the January 2023 test at 55,488 miles flagged the nearside front tyre for perishing and the offside front for being worn to the limit. Although these issues were likely addressed, the low mileage-use pattern makes the tyres prone to dry rot regardless of tread depth. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the suspension bushings and air suspension bellows is essential, as these parts often suffer from age related cracking when a car is not driven frequently.
