2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · LC64 AEW

The vehicle demonstrates a consistent roadworthiness record with no defects recorded across five consecutive MOT tests, most recently passing on 19 November 2025 at 85,883 miles. This suggests the car has undergone regular, compliant testing without any major failings, though the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude underlying wear or deferred maintenance. The most recent test, just under nine months ago, aligns with the typical annual MOT cycle, indicating the vehicle has not been driven beyond its legal testing window. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or advisory notes that would imply a pattern of neglect or impending failure. The mileage progression reveals an irregular but not alarming usage pattern. Between November 2021 and November 2022, the odometer jumped from 40,604 to 77,407 miles—a 36,803-mile increase in a single year—before dropping to 56,982 miles by November 2023. This suggests either extended periods of non-use or inconsistent driving habits, which could accelerate wear on fluid-sealed components like suspension bushes or power steering systems. Subsequent mileage accumulation has been more stable, averaging around 10,000 miles annually since 2023, a rate that, while typical for its age, may still contribute to gradual degradation of high-wear items. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are often affected by irregular usage or prolonged inactivity. The brakes—though never flagged—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced extended periods off the road. Corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be examined, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediately failing an MOT. Finally, fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) and condition (for leaks or contamination) warrant verification, as these are not routinely tested during MOTs but can indicate deferred maintenance.
