2014 Mercedes-Benz E 3.0L Diesel · WH05 AEM

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz E presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 12 March 2025 at 65,619 miles recorded a pass with no defects, continuing an unbroken sequence of four consecutive passes. The vehicle shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the entire available history from 2022 to 2025. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a twelve-year-old executive saloon. The records show 52,409 miles at the 17 March 2022 test, rising to 57,028 by 8 March 2023, 60,556 by 8 March 2024, and 65,619 by 12 March 2025. That equates to roughly 4,200 to 5,000 miles added each year, averaging under 5,500 annually. The sparse but consistent entries reveal no gaps, rapid accumulation, or sudden jumps that would suggest neglected high-use cycles. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the spotless MOT trail. Low mileage combined with a twelve-year age means rubber components such as suspension bushes, anti-roll bar mounts, and coolant hoses may have degraded through time rather than wear. Standing periods common to low-use vehicles accelerate perishing of seals and brake caliper stiffness even when testers record no fault. The absence of corrosion, exhaust, or brake disc advisories is reassuring, yet the DVSA test examines only visible and tested items on the day. We recommend checking underneath for structural rust at chassis mounting points, verifying brake disc thickness and pad wear, and confirming the coil springs are free of fractures. Previous owners clearly kept basic statutory compliance current, but the record alone cannot confirm deeper drivetrain or suspension condition.
