Our Verdict
This Mercedes-Benz E-Class represents a solid purchasing prospect due to its consistent MOT record. While the mileage is high, the lack of recent defects is a positive indicator for a buyer.
When inspecting this specific 2.1L diesel E-Class, prioritise checking the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed regularly, which is vital for high-mileage Mercedes engines. Given the mileage has just crossed the 100,000-mile mark, ask for evidence of any major component replacements such as timing chains or suspension components.
Negotiate based on the fact that the vehicle is a high-mileage example, even if the MOT history is clean. Look for any signs of uneven tyre wear or steering play, as these can be early indicators of issues that might eventually lead to the suspension arm failures common in this model aggregate.
As a 2143cc diesel, this vehicle is likely to offer efficient long-distance fuel economy, though running costs will be influenced by its age and mileage. You should expect moderate-to-high insurance groups typical for a premium executive saloon.
Maintenance costs for a Mercedes-Benz of this era can be higher than mainstream brands. Budget for potential repairs to suspension and engine management systems, which are noted as common failure points in the wider model data. Estimated annual running costs are expected to be mid-range.
Focus your inspection on the suspension system. Aggregate data for this model shows that suspension arms are a top reason for MOT failures, so check for any knocks or knocks when driving over bumps.
Additionally, monitor the dashboard for any warning lights related to the engine management system, as 'engine mil inoperative' is a recorded failure reason for this model type. Ensure the diesel engine starts smoothly and does not exhibit excessive vibration or smoke, which could indicate issues with the fuel system or emissions components.
This 2014 white diesel E-Class has covered 101,085 miles since its first registration in November 2014. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes without any recorded defects or failures since 2022. While the annual mileage is higher than the model average of 9,163, the recent history suggests a consistent testing pattern.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.9% MOT pass rate, with common failures often relating to suspension arms and engine management lights.
