2014 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · KS63 VBE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in early March 2026 at 57,726 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained well to prevent the mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger MOT failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 11,858 miles, showing a consistent pattern of light use rather than long periods of neglect. This low-frequency usage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain components, engine, and braking system compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. However, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals if the vehicle has not been driven regularly over long distances. While the digital record is exemplary, a buyer must inspect for specific issues associated with low-mileage older cars. A physical inspection should check for perished or cracked suspension bushes, rubber bushings, and tyre sidewalls, which occur due to age rather than distance. Given the intervals between tests, the brake discs should be examined for surface pitting or corrosion caused by periods of inactivity. Verifying the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes remains essential to ensure that no hidden corrosion has developed in areas not prioritized by standard testing access.
