2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · GU64 AAZ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 10 March 2026 at 139,034 miles passing with no recorded defects. This follows a clean pass in March 2025 at 134,646 miles, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows a significant improvement from the 2023 period, where the vehicle failed on a fractured offside front coil spring and several braking and bearing issues. The absence of advisories in the last two years indicates a period of consistent upkeep. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,586 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, notably jumping from 89,211 miles in March 2023 to 112,070 miles in March 2024, and reaching 139,034 miles by the most recent test. There are no significant periods of long-term inactivity visible in the data, which supports the likelihood that the mechanical components have been regularly exercised rather than left to seize from standing. A prospective buyer should focus an inspection on the suspension and braking systems. While the 2023 failure for a broken coil spring and a near-side rear wheel bearing with play suggests previous wear, the subsequent clean tests imply these components were replaced. However, the recurring advisories regarding tyres being worn on the edges or near the legal limit, seen in 2020, 2022, and 2024, suggest potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. The history also shows intermittent issues with brake components, including binding service brakes and corroded discs in 2023. Although the 2026 test was clear, a physical check of the brake pads, discs, and calipers is advisable to ensure no new binding or uneven wear has developed. Checking the condition of the tyres for uneven tread patterns will also confirm if the alignment issues noted in earlier years have been permanently resolved.
