2014 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · OS07 BEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the clean results of its final recorded MOT. The most recent test conducted on 3 September 2021 at 76,740 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car was maintained to a high standard at the time of its last inspection. However, because nearly five years have elapsed since this official check, the current mechanical state of the vehicle remains unverified by independent data. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-average usage for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in records between November 2018 and August 2020, where the vehicle covered only 3,604 miles over two years. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid acidity. The lack of any MOT entries between 2021 and 2026 suggests the vehicle has been off the road or unrecorded for several years. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage. Low use often results in seized brake calipers, rusted brake discs, and perished suspension bushes due to lack of frequent movement. Check for signs of structural corrosion on the chassis and around the wheel arches, as the record provides no data on structural integrity for the later years. Since the last test is so dated, a comprehensive check of the tyre tread depth and fluid levels is essential to ensure the vehicle has not deteriorated during its period of inactivity.
