2014 Mercedes-Benz C220 AMG Line Prem Bluetec A 2.1L Heavy oil · LC14 AEE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT pass following the January 2025 test at 189,441 miles, with no defects recorded. The preceding attempt on January 2nd of the same year passed after an initial failure, though no specific faults were noted in the record. This recent sequence suggests the car remains structurally sound and mechanically compliant, with the maintenance trend appearing stable rather than deteriorating. Mileage accumulation is notably high for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 15,787 miles per year over the past decade. The gap between the November 2023 test at 178,257 miles and the January 2025 retest at 189,441 miles reflects roughly 11,000 miles covered in just over a year, consistent with regular, high-mileage usage. Earlier records show steady progression from 58,795 miles in May 2017 to 133,342 miles by September 2021, indicating sustained annual use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Recurring advisories centre on rear brake discs and tyres. The November 2022 test flagged both rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened, alongside rear tyres worn close to the legal limit. Similar rear tyre wear was noted again in August 2020, suggesting a persistent issue with either alignment, suspension geometry, or driving style. A buyer should inspect the rear brake discs and pads in person, check for uneven tyre wear patterns that may indicate tracking or camber problems, and examine the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature wear. The slightly damaged nearside front seat belt buckle recorded in 2022 should also be verified for safe operation.
