2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KN14 OLO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2024-10-14 at 111,978 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, and the consistent pass history over five consecutive tests—spanning from 2021-01-08 to 2024-10-14—indicates a stable maintenance trend. There are no advisories or recurring failures to suggest worsening mechanical issues, though the absence of any recorded faults does not preclude hidden wear on high-mileage components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain joints. The tester’s clean bill of health implies either diligent servicing or that critical failures have yet to manifest at this stage. Mileage progression averages around 9,332 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests are standard, with no unusual gaps or spikes—each MOT falls within the expected 12-month window, and the recorded mileage increments are consistent. There is no evidence of prolonged inactivity or aggressive driving patterns, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means the buyer cannot rely on external maintenance logs to confirm intervals for oil changes, timing belt replacements, or other time-based services. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to wear at this mileage: the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which may exhibit fatigue; the brake calipers and discs, where binding or excessive wear could develop without prior advisories; and the exhaust system, where corrosion or leaks might not have been detected during the MOT but could affect emissions or structural integrity. The absence of advisories on tyres in prior tests suggests they have been replaced or maintained, but a buyer should verify tread depth and lateral wear patterns. Finally, the underbody should be inspected for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, as this is often overlooked in MOT testing but critical for long-term structural reliability.
