2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · ML14 AAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 10 November 2025 at 108,740 miles. While the record shows a failure just four days prior at the same mileage, the immediate rectification suggests the owner is proactive in addressing compliance-related issues. Since October 2023, the car has maintained a clean record with no recorded defects or advisories across the last two successful tests. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between October 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 6,982 miles, followed by an additional 6,424 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 tests. This steady accumulation indicates regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps in preventing the internal degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. Given the lack of advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on common mechanical wear points for this Mercedes-Benz C-Class. At over 100,000 miles, the suspension control arms and rubber bushes often show signs of tearing or cracking, which can affect handling precision. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear, as the MOT does not measure pad thickness in depth. Checking the structural integrity of the underbody for corrosion is also essential, as vehicles of this age are prone to rust in the mounting points and sills.
