2014 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · KW14 AFF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-18 at 79,010 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2024-10-28 (75,081 miles) and 2023-10-30 (71,371 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2024-10-23 at 75,079 miles—despite no defects being listed—raises questions about potential unresolved concerns. The absence of recorded faults in subsequent tests implies any issues were likely minor and rectified, but the proximity of the failure to the next pass warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 79,010 miles at 12 years old aligns with average annual usage of ~6,584 miles, reflecting steady, moderate driving. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident between 2022 and 2025, suggesting consistent ownership or usage patterns. The two 2024 tests—10 days apart—show minimal distance covered (75,081 vs. 75,079 miles), which may indicate a short-term period of reduced activity or administrative overlap. The clean record from 2022 to 2025, aside from the unexplained failure, implies no major mechanical deterioration. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components are frequently flagged in similar vehicles of this age. The lack of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT history is positive, but the 2024 failure—though unrecorded—could hint at transient faults requiring inspection. Pay particular attention to brake components, as uneven wear or binding calipers might not always appear in MOT reports. Additionally, confirm that the failed test was resolved before the subsequent pass, as unresolved issues could indicate ongoing maintenance neglect.
