This 2014 Mercedes-Benz has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 37,855 miles. However, a significant history of recurring tyre and brake advisories, coupled with a major suspension failure, indicates a pattern of wear and potential neglect.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 8,490 miles/year, with a notable increase in recent years (e.g., 17,807 miles in 2025-2026).
Things to check
- Recurring brake advisories (Mar 2026, Jan 2021) suggest ongoing wear.
- Major suspension failure (Apr 2023) and subsequent advisories (Mar 2026) indicate structural neglect.
- Engine/Oil major failure (Jan 2020) is a significant concern for a 2014 diesel.
- Consistent low annual mileage (e.g., 2,437 miles in 2023) may indicate limited use or poor maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No recent major failures or advisories from the last two MOTs (Apr 2024, Apr 2025).
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating for 2017 model is excellent.
