2014 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · SK64 ABV

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving trend following previous mechanical failures. The most recent inspection on 7 June 2025 at 61,606 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This indicates that the issues causing failures in 2023 and 2024 have been successfully addressed, and the car has maintained a clean record through the latest annual testing cycle. The mileage profile is notably low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,134 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap of 2,971 miles between October 2023 and June 2024, followed by an increase of 14,628 miles over the following year. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the intermittent usage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. While the recent MOT is clean, the buyer must verify the specific components that caused the failures at 47,000 and 49,978 miles. Since the provided record does not detail the exact reasons for those failures, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake caliper assemblies is essential. Low-mileage Mercedes of this era can suffer from seized brakes or perished rubber bushings due to lack of use, which should be checked for signs of cracking or wear to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis has not been compromised by age-related corrosion.
