2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · JF10 JAC

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 July 2025 at 103,664 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from July 2022 through July 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 7 July 2022 at 79,675 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects listed; the vehicle passed the very next day on 8 July 2022 at 79,704 miles, indicating the failure was likely administrative or a tester discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages 8,639 across the 12-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show steady accumulation: 79,704 miles in July 2022, 88,496 in July 2023, 94,951 in July 2024, and 103,664 in July 2025. The owner added roughly 8,700 to 9,000 miles each year with no sudden jumps or dormant periods. The clean sheet across four consecutive passes means the history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. Given the absence of any advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the vehicle appears to have been maintained to a reasonable standard. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the subframe and sills for structural rust, check the rear brake calipers for binding, and measure tyre tread and wiper condition, as these items fall outside the MOT pass criteria once above the legal minimum. The 2022 fail with zero defects recorded warrants a glance at the VOSA failure reason if the buyer can retrieve it, but the immediate pass suggests no lasting concern. At just over one year since the last test, the MOT is current and the record supports a sound used purchase pending a routine pre-sale mechanical check.
