2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · K88 JAO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent maintenance record over the last four years. The most recent test on 29 August 2025 at 136,445 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at 136,441 miles that curiously listed no defects. This anomaly suggests an administrative error or a clerical re-test requirement rather than a persistent mechanical fault. Since June 2022, the car has maintained a clean MOT history without any advisories or points of failure. The mileage pattern aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old German saloon, averaging approximately 11,370 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and July 2023, the vehicle covered 21,898 miles, indicating a steady rate of use. A further gap of 4,121 miles occurred between July 2023 and July 2024, which remains within normal parameters. This accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which often leads to rubber degradation, brake corrosion, and fluid contamination. Given that the MOT history is devoid of recorded mechanical failures or structural concerns, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components that tests not always capture. A buyer must examine the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms for tearing, as these are common on Mercedes-Benz models at this mileage. Check the brake system for signs of caliper binding or uneven wear, and inspect the chassis for any surface corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains as sound as the digital record suggests.
