2014 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.1L Diesel

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 28 November 2025 at 99,725 miles, roughly seven months before the current date, returning a pass with no defects recorded. Five consecutive annual examinations from November 2021 to November 2025 show zero advisories or failures. This clean sweep indicates the previous keeper addressed any wear before each test and the mechanical condition has neither deteriorated nor required repeated attention. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 69,690 miles in the 11 November 2021 test to 99,725 miles by 28 November 2025, an average of roughly 7,500 miles per year across that span. No abrupt jumps appear. The gap between tests stays within standard twelve-month cycles, with the longest interval being the 2023 to 2024 window of just over twelve months. Such measured use suggests routine commuting rather than prolonged standing or high-stress fleet operation. Despite the unblemished record, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the car's age and near-100,000 mileage. The tester noted no corrosion or structural concerns, yet Mercedes C-class models of this era can develop undertray rust and worn rear trailing arm bushes that escape a brief MOT ramp check. Examine brake disc thickness and exhaust emissions during a cold start. The absence of any recorded faults across five years implies the former owner kept basic upkeep current. Verify service history matches the mileage increments. Check tyre tread depth and wiper blades as consumables, though these were not flagged. Overall the evidential trail supports a sound purchase provided a pre-sale mechanical appraisal confirms the silent components.
