2014 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.1L Diesel

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 2024-08-24 with 142,235 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, with no defects recorded in the three consecutive tests since 2021-01-08. This suggests that the vehicle has been receiving adequate maintenance, at least in the past two years. The recorded mileage of 142,235 miles, accumulated over approximately 12 years, is consistent with typical usage for its age. There are no notable gaps in the mileage pattern, and the annual mileage of around 11,853 miles per year does not suggest excessive wear on consumables or mechanical components. However, the rapid mileage accumulation between 2017-12-28 and 2020-01-03, where the mileage increased from 32,320 to 58,647 miles in just under three years, may indicate more frequent or intensive use during this period. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's brakes and suspension in person, given the history of defects and advisories. The nearside rear brake hose connection leaking and inadequate service brake effort at a wheel in 2021-09-09 suggest potential issues with the hydraulic braking system. The nearside front and offside front suspension arm ball joints having slight play in 2020-01-03 indicate possible wear on these components. Furthermore, the buyer should check the vehicle's windscreen wiper, as it failed to clear the windscreen effectively in 2020-01-03.
