2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · CP53 PEN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-03 at 84,524 miles recorded a pass, though an identical date also notes a failure with no defects listed. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error, but the latest valid test indicates no critical issues at that mileage. The maintenance trend shows stability, with no recurring defects across the 2023–2025 period. The car has maintained compliance without major faults, though the dual entries for the same date require clarification. Mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s 12-year age, averaging 7,044 miles annually. The 2024-09-10 failure at 80,154 miles was followed by a pass just 24 days later at 80,348 miles, suggesting minor, resolved issues. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, and the records show a clean history of passing tests. The absence of defects in all entries implies consistent upkeep, though the lack of detailed failure notes limits insight into potential underlying concerns. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common wear items in older vehicles, and check brake components for uneven disc wear or caliper binding. Corrosion in underbody areas, particularly around the exhaust system, warrants scrutiny, as it often develops unnoticed. While the MOT data shows no structural issues, a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden damage or unresolved faults not captured in the recorded tests.
