2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · RJ64 AEA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-09 at 90,763 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2026-01-08 at 90,749 miles failed without recorded issues. This pattern of alternating pass/fail outcomes in consecutive tests, with no specific defects noted, suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or unresolved minor faults. The lack of recorded defects in the last three tests (2025-01-22, 2025-01-21, 2024-01-12) indicates a stable maintenance trend in the preceding years, though the recent back-to-back pass/fail results warrant scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 90,763 miles over 12 years aligns with an average of 7,564 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with consistent mileage increments between assessments. Notably, the 2024-01-12 test at 77,829 miles and the 2025-01-22 test at 83,513 miles suggest gradual wear, but no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. The absence of defects in these tests implies no major mechanical failures, though the lack of detailed records limits insight into underlying issues. A buyer should verify the cause of the 2026-01-08 failure, as unresolved minor faults could affect reliability. Inspect suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, for wear, and check brake systems for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as these often go undetected in MOTs. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, and assess structural integrity for rust, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress. While the MOT records show no critical issues, the inconsistent test outcomes highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
