Our Verdict
This Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a solid pr
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the 2.1-litre diesel engine's performance, as high-mileage examples of this unit require consistent oil changes to maintain longevity. Ensure the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, as these can become costly to repair if neglected.
Verify that the vehicle's service history aligns with the high mileage. Check for any signs of electrical gremlins, as the C-Class of this era features complex infotainment and cabin electronics that should be fully tested during your viewing.
As a 2.1-litre diesel, this model is designed for long-distance cruising, offering competitive fuel economy for its class. However, be mindful of potential road tax brackets based on CO2 emissions for a 2014 registered vehicle and ensure your insurance quotes reflect the age and engine size.
Maintenance costs for a Mercedes-Benz can be higher than mass-market brands, particularly regarding parts and specialist labour. Expect an estimated annual running cost in the region of £1,600-£1,900, accounting for fuel, insurance, tax, and a contingency fund for wear-and-tear items like brakes and suspension components.
Pay close attention to the tyres, as the MOT history shows a pattern of edge wear in previous years; ensure all four tyres have even tread depth and are of a reputable brand. Given the model's known failure points, inspect the suspension arms for any signs of play or knocking sounds during a test drive.
Check the headlamps and all exterior lighting, as these are common failure points for the C-Class in national MOT data. Additionally, inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion or oil leaks, particularly around the engine bay and differential areas.
Registered in July 2014, this black diesel C-Class has covered 127,586 miles. Its recent MOT history is encouraging, with the last three annual inspections resulting in passes with no defects recorded. While there were tyre-related advisories in 2021 and 2022, the vehicle has successfully cleared its most recent tests without issue.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class generally performs in line with industry expectations, though it is susceptible to common wear items like suspension components and lighting issues.
