2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KW14 AEX

The MOT record shows the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at its last test on 16 June 2025 at 50,151 miles, yet that pass is now thirteen months old relative to 21 July 2026 and the annual certificate has lapsed. The maintenance trend is stable, with clean passes in June 2024 and June 2023 aside from two anomalous failures logging no defects. Those failures on 13 June 2025 and 21 June 2023 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes suggest procedural or administrative anomalies rather than worsening mechanical condition. Recorded mileage stands at 50,151 miles for a 12-year-old vehicle, equating to a low average of roughly 4,179 miles per year. The odometer advanced only 2,687 miles between the June 2023 test at 40,261 miles and the June 2024 test at 42,948 miles, then rose 7,203 miles by June 2025 at 50,151 miles. Such low overall use implies lighter wear on consumables but also raises the likelihood of prolonged standing, which can degrade suspension bushes, brake discs through corrosion, and rubber components. The sparse record shows no advisories across any test, indicating either meticulous upkeep or minimal inspection scrutiny from previous owners. Because the history flags no specific mechanical or structural defects, the buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of common age-related items. Examine front and rear suspension bushes for perishing, check brake calipers for binding after standing, and assess subframe and sills for corrosion given the vehicle's low-use profile. The twin failures without recorded defects hint that previous owners may have faced MOT booking errors, yet they maintained the car to a standard that yielded clean passes on re-test.
