2014 Mercedes-Benz E 2.1L Diesel · YC64 AEW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-17 at 148,105 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the preceding test on 2024-06-07 at 145,559 miles showed a fail with no defects listed, creating an inconsistency. The prior test on 2024-06-10 at 145,561 miles was a pass, suggesting the fail may have been a procedural error or unrelated to mechanical issues. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable in the last 12 months, though the unexplained fail warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 148,105 miles at 12 years old equates to approximately 12,342 miles annually, exceeding average usage for its age. Notable jumps include 11,363 miles between the 2022-05-23 test (119,947 miles) and 2023-05-22 (130,310 miles), followed by 15,251 miles by 2024-06-10. Such rapid accumulation increases wear on consumables and mechanical systems. The MOT history lacks detailed defects, but the high mileage and sporadic test intervals suggest potential neglect in addressing gradual wear. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the high mileage. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, require scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked, as age and usage may mask underlying issues. While the MOT record shows no immediate faults, the vehicle’s usage pattern and unexplained fail highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm long-term reliability.
