2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · DY64 ACU

The Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT test on 19 November 2025 at 104,011 miles, which recorded no defects and a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with the 2024 and 2023 passes also clean and only two anomalous failures showing no defect entries. Mileage progression fits a typical twelve-year service life. The car showed 78,857 miles on its 15 November 2023 failure, rising to 79,102 miles by the 22 November 2023 pass. It then covered 11,864 miles to the 14 November 2024 pass at 90,966 miles, and added 13,045 miles to the 2025 test. This averages near 12,000 miles annually, modestly above the 8,668 mile norm but showing no gaps or sudden surges. The two failed tests occurred days before passes with under 60 miles added, pointing to administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and corrosion in person. The MOT history lacks advisories on these components, yet at 104,011 miles they demand scrutiny. The tester noted no binding calipers or exhaust emissions faults, but underside corrosion and worn consumables like tyres and wiper blades may exist outside test thresholds. The no-defect failures warrant a check with the issuing garage to confirm no hidden fault was rectified off-record. Prior owners kept the car to pass standard; the record gives no evidence of skipped basic upkeep, though it equally provides no early warning of impending wear.
