Documented failure points and real market prices for the Freightliner 114SD, sourced and dated.

**Observed used price:** $74,900–$129,900

**Documented failure risks:**
- EGR cooler (Detroit DD13 engine, a common 114SD spec): EGR cooler cracking is a documented failure mode on the Detroit DD13/DD15 engine family that Freightliner spec's into the vocational 114SD.
- fuel injectors: Injector replacement on the Detroit engine family typically becomes necessary past 700,000 miles and requires replacing the full set.
- EGR valve: EGR valve carbon buildup, a general diesel vocational-truck failure mode, prevents proper valve closure and allows continuous exhaust flow into the intake.
