2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · TA14 ABA

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 58,176 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. From the 24 November 2021 test at 41,046 miles to the 28 November 2024 test at 52,545 miles, the car covered just 11,499 miles across three years, averaging under 3,900 miles annually. The final jump to 58,176 miles by November 2025 added only 5,631 miles. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear in the record. The DVSA data shows no advisories, failures, or flagged wear across any test, which suggests the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoided even minor consumable mentions. Given the clean history, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low annual mileage paired with a twelve-year age often allows corrosion to develop on structural members, subframes, and brake lines while the car sits unused. The MOT record contains no rust or structural integrity entries, but testers only examine what is visible and accessible on the day. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for age-related degradation rather than wear-related fatigue. The absence of advisories means no binding calipers or exhaust emissions faults were logged, yet rubber components and flexible hoses degrade on time, not miles. A pre-purchase examination should confirm underbody condition and verify the recorded mileages against service documentation.
