2014 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.1L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on August 26 2025 at 70,029 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of recurring mechanical issues between 2020 and 2024. While the car previously struggled with consumable wear and minor component failures, the clean sheet from the latest test suggests that the previous owner addressed the outstanding faults identified in prior years. At twelve years of age, the recorded mileage of 70,029 miles represents low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,836 miles per year. This pattern remains consistent, with the vehicle covering roughly 2,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests and approximately 3,000 miles between 2023 and 2024. However, low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion on exposed surfaces, which aligns with some of the issues noted in the history. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension geometry and alignment due to a history of uneven tyre wear. Between 2020 and 2024, the tester repeatedly flagged tyres worn on the inner and outer edges, which typically indicates incorrect camber or worn suspension bushes and bushings. Additionally, the braking system requires a close look; the record shows thin pads, pitted discs, and a corroded offside front brake pipe as of 2023. While these were passed subsequently, you must verify that repairs were thorough and no active corrosion remains on the lines. The glass and bodywork have also required attention, with multiple entries for windscreen and window damage between 2021 and 2024. These minor cosmetic faults appear to have been resolved. Given the mention of under cover trays obscuring components in 2020 and 2021, a physical inspection of the undercarriage is necessary to ensure no hidden structural corrosion or fluid leaks have remained undetected from the tester's view.
