2014 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.1L Diesel

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of mechanical health. The most recent MOT on 18 August 2025 at 85,369 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures or chronic neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a twelve-year-old executive saloon. The distance increased by 9,400 miles between August 2023 and August 2024, followed by a slightly higher increase of 9,433 miles leading up to the August 2025 test. This steady usage pattern indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The absence of advisories across multiple years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. While the records show two failures in August 2023 and August 2025, both were resolved within the same day, indicating minor issues that were rectified immediately. There is no evidence of structural corrosion, suspension wear, or brake deterioration in the official data. A physical inspection should focus on common age-related wear that MOT testers may overlook if it does not meet a failure threshold. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and the depth of the tyre treads, as these consumables are not flagged in the clean history. Verifying the service history for oil changes and transmission fluid flushes will confirm if the mechanical care matches the clean MOT record.
