2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · AD06 RAS

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class presents a highly stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 16 August 2025 at 103,245 miles. The maintenance trend remains consistently positive, with no defects recorded across the entire documented history. While the record shows two failed tests—on 15 August 2025 and 13 August 2024—both occurred immediately before a pass on the same or following day with zero defects noted. This pattern strongly suggests minor rectifications, such as a blown bulb or a registration plate issue, rather than any significant mechanical faults. The vehicle has consistently met the required structural and mechanical standards without presenting any recurring or unresolved issues. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, reflecting typical usage patterns. Between the test on 27 July 2023 at 85,739 miles and the test on 13 August 2024 at 94,870 miles, the car covered 9,131 miles over a twelve-month period. The subsequent year saw a slight reduction in use, accumulating 8,375 miles to reach the current 103,245 miles by August 2025. This equates to an annual average of roughly 8,604 miles, which is entirely normal for a twelve-year-old executive saloon. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would indicate long periods of inactivity or severe high-mileage abuse. Given the absence of any recorded advisories or defects, the vehicle demonstrates excellent baseline care from its previous owner. However, a pre-purchase inspection should still focus on typical wear items for a Mercedes-Benz of this age and mileage. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of deterioration, as these components endure stress regardless of a clean MOT record. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining life, and the exhaust system checked for early signs of corrosion. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition require verification, as consumable wear does not always trigger a failure threshold immediately. Finally, an underbody inspection is prudent to confirm the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, ensuring no hidden corrosion has developed since the last test.
