2014 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · LC64 ADX

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-12-22 MOT at 80,055 miles recording a pass and no defects. Subsequent tests from 2025-07-30 (78,623 miles) and 2024-07-01 (71,283 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2024-06-28 at the same 71,283-mile mark raises questions about procedural accuracy, as no defects were recorded for either the failed or subsequent pass. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors but does not reflect mechanical deterioration. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,671 miles annually. Tests spaced approximately 12 months apart show steady accumulation, with no significant gaps or rapid increases that might indicate neglect. The 2023-07-19 MOT at 65,728 miles marked the earliest recorded pass, with no prior data available. This clean, unbroken sequence of passes since 2023 implies the owner prioritized compliance, though the 2024-06-28 failure remains unexplained. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly at 71,283 miles, as this mileage coincided with conflicting test outcomes. Inspect brake systems for wear, given the model’s known susceptibility to binding calipers, and check for corrosion in underbody areas, which can develop in older vehicles. While no defects were flagged in recent tests, the 2024-06-28 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was a procedural error or an overlooked issue. Overall, the vehicle meets roadworthiness standards but requires a physical inspection to address potential hidden concerns.
