2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · AP63 GCY

The most recent MOT test on 2025-04-05 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a stable maintenance pattern over the past three years, as all subsequent tests—including the 2024-02-08 and 2023-03-08 passes—also showed clean results. The single failure on 2023-03-07 (the day before passing) is unusual but does not indicate a recurring issue, as no defects were logged. However, the absence of advisories in any test suggests previous owners either addressed minor concerns privately or the vehicle has not encountered persistent mechanical wear. The recorded mileage of 123,180 miles at the time of the latest MOT aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging around 10,265 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or spikes in service intervals, though the MOT history only spans five tests over nearly four years, leaving some periods unaccounted for. The lack of advisories or repeated failures implies no obvious neglect, but the sparse data means critical maintenance—such as suspension servicing or brake fluid changes—may not have been systematically documented. Given the clean MOT record, an in-person inspection should prioritise the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as Mercedes-Benz models of this age often develop uneven wear. The brakes, including caliper binding and disc thickness, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salted conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, should be examined for corrosion, as this is a common issue in older Mercedes-Benz models. The exhaust system should also be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related failures are not recorded but could indicate underlying wear.
