2014 MERCEDES-BENZ C220 SPORT BLUETEC AUTO2.1L Diesel

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz C220 Sport BlueTec presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 145,998 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failure on 26 June 2023 at 120,866 miles, where the tester logged no defects yet still issued a fail, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven outcome. Mileage sits high for a twelve-year-old car at 145,998 recorded miles, averaging roughly 12,166 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation: 105,974 miles in June 2022, 121,192 by July 2023, 133,408 by July 2024, and 145,998 by August 2025. The gap between the June 2023 fail and the July 2023 pass covers only 326 miles, indicating a quick retest. No standing periods or sudden jumps appear in the data, and the clean pass history points to consistent use with basic upkeep maintained. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and age. The MOT record flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or structural integrity concerns across the timeline, which implies the previous owners addressed consumables before each test. Verify the actual condition of tyres and wiper blades despite their absence from advisories, as these wear silently between tests. The absence of recurring advisories or mechanical defects across five tests suggests the drivetrain and chassis have been cared for. Treat the 2023 fail with no defects as a clerical anomaly rather than evidence of neglect. Given the mileage, budget for imminent wear on dampers and binding calipers even though the DVSA record shows no current fault.
