2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · BD63 OOB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on October 17 2025 at 122,994 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the owner consistently addressed specific mechanical failures immediately upon testing. While the 2025 test initially failed due to a nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover, the subsequent pass on the same day indicates that the flagged component was rectified promptly without further delay. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,250 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 105,773 miles and October 2024 at 114,971 miles, the car covered roughly 9,000 miles, followed by another 8,023 miles leading into the final test. This steady usage suggests regular motorway or A operation rather than long periods ofກັບ, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry due to recurring issues with ball joints and linkages. The 2024 failure at 114,865 miles highlighted the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, and the 2025 failure involved the anti-roll bar linkage. These faults indicate that the front-end components are experiencing accelerated wear at this mileage. Check for any torn rubber boots or play in the control arms to ensure that the recent repairs have fully halted the degradation of the suspension assembly.
