Mercedes-Benz 814D – 7.5-tonne class truck with around 140 hp: four-cylinder diesel, 100 to 102 kW, gross weights from 6.6 to 7.5 tonnes
The Mercedes-Benz 814D belongs to the light truck range in which the type designation is formed according to the brand's own scheme from tonnage and engine power: the 8 denotes the weight class of around 7.5 to 8 tonnes permissible gross weight, the 14 around 140 hp of engine power, and the D diesel. The 814D is powered by a four-cylinder diesel engine of 100 to 102 kW.

The register lists 4 versions with 100 to 102 kW from four-cylinder engines of 3,970 to 5,958 cm³. Kerb weights range from 4,240 to 7,400 kg, permissible gross weights from 6,600 to 7,500 kg. Lengths span 6,890 to 8,450 mm, widths 2,400 to 2,530 mm.
Vehicles of the 814 class were widely used box-body and flatbed trucks across Europe for urban distribution traffic and trades, where their compact dimensions and four-cylinder diesel offered a good compromise between payload and manoeuvrability; they competed directly with comparable models from Iveco and MAN. Bodybuilders also fitted this chassis with insulated box bodies and mobile workshop platforms.
When buying a used example, check for corrosion on the frame and cab floor, the condition of the clutch and, on box-body versions, the floor and wall condition of the body. Spare parts for the drivetrain and chassis are widely available through the Mercedes-Benz Trucks dealer network and independent commercial-vehicle parts suppliers.
