2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LC64 AEM

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record in its most recent inspection. The September 2024 test at 115,921 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of intermittent failures in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that previous issues were successfully rectified and the vehicle has since maintained a consistent standard of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,660 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression from 80,826 miles in October 2022 to 115,921 miles in September 2024. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which is generally positive for mechanical components and seals. While the recent history is clean, the failures recorded in September 2023 and September 2022 indicate a history of non-compliance that required attention. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to check for corrosion, particularly on the exhaust system and suspension mounting points, given the vehicle's age. It is also prudent to inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs to ensure no recurring wear is present. Given the mileage has now exceeded 115,000 miles, attention should be directed toward the service history of the drivetrain and timing components. While the MOT record does not flag specific mechanical faults, the transition from a failed test to a clean pass in both 2022 and 2023 implies that consumables were replaced. Verifying that these repairs were documented with receipts will confirm the quality of the maintenance performed during those corrective periods.
