2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · HV14 ABO

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 April 2026 at 150,408 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from March 2023 through April 2025 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 2 April 2024 at 134,198 miles, which the record shows with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault corrected later that same day when it passed. Mileage has accumulated at a consistent pace above the norm for a 2014 vehicle. From the 126,493 miles recorded on 27 March 2023, the car covered roughly 8,705 miles to the April 2024 test, then 8,649 miles to April 2025, and 7,561 miles to April 2026, averaging near the 12,534 miles per year implied by the total. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries across three years, but every test bar the anomalous 2024 failure shows a clean sheet with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the high mileage and twelve-year age, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of developing rust on sills or subframes. The brake discs, coil springs, and suspension arms warrant physical measurement, since the record offers no insight into consumable wear between tests. The 2024 duplicate entry with a failure and same-day pass suggests the vehicle may have been presented poorly or the tester aborted the initial attempt; verify the V5C and prior upkeep to confirm no suppressed history.
