2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · GL64 OHH

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT test in December 2025, though the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of deferred minor component replacement. While the car has consistently passed its inspections, the recurring advisory for pitted and scored rear brake discs has persisted for three consecutive years. This indicates that the previous owners have opted to run components until they reach the legal failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance, suggesting a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle care. At 84,459 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a twelve-year-old luxury saloon. The mileage progression appears consistent, with a jump of roughly 14,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 14,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car is not subjected to extreme neglect, though the low mileage can sometimes allow rubber components and seals to age without mechanical use. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system, specifically checking the condition of the front discs which were flagged as worn in 2023. Given the persistent advisories on the rear discs, the calipers should be tested for binding or seized pistons which might be accelerating the surface pitting. Additionally, the history of worn offside front tyres on edges in both 2022 and 2023 suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bush that should be verified during a test drive to prevent premature future tyre wear.
