2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · WD63 YUU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on January 8, 2026, confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 136,750 miles. This marks a stable pattern over the past two years, as the previous three tests—December 2024, January 2024, and January 2023—also passed without fail. The only advisories in the history were minor and limited to front brake pads (noted in January 2023 and 2022) and a superficial tyre cut in January 2023, neither of which escalated into failures. The absence of recurring structural or safety-critical faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though no evidence exists of proactive servicing beyond MOT thresholds. The mileage progression indicates consistent use, averaging around 11,400 miles annually—a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no prolonged gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage, though the record only spans from January 2022 to January 2026. The most recent test aligns closely with current mileage, meaning the vehicle has not been driven excessively since its last inspection. This does not preclude hidden wear, but it does suggest the owner has adhered to the MOT cycle without significant neglect. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the front brake system, given the repeated advisories on pad wear in 2022 and 2023. Check for uneven pad thickness, disc warping, or excessive rotor glazing, as these conditions can develop even when advisories are not repeated in later tests. The 2023 note of a cut in the nearside front tyre warrants scrutiny of the remaining tyres for hidden damage, particularly around the tread edges. Given the vehicle’s age, inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers for stiffness or leaks, as these components often fail without prior warning. Structural integrity should also be assessed for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are prone to deterioration in a 12-year-old vehicle.
