2014 Mercedes-Benz C220 AMG Line Prem + Bluetec A 2.1L Heavy oil · OY64 RYD

The most recent DVSA MOT, carried out on 8 December 2025, was passed with no recorded defects. Over the past six years the vehicle has alternated between passes and administrative failures, but every failure entry shows “no defects recorded”, indicating that the failures were likely clerical rather than mechanical. This pattern points to a generally stable maintenance record, with no evident deterioration in the core safety items inspected by the MOT. At 92 378 miles on the odometer the 2014 Mercedes‑Benz C‑Class averages roughly 7 700 miles per year, which sits comfortably within the typical usage range for a vehicle of this age. The mileage is not excessive, suggesting that major wear items such as the timing chain, transmission internals and engine bearings have not been subjected to extreme stress. There are no large mileage gaps in the MOT chronology, so the car has likely been driven consistently rather than being stored for long periods, which reduces the risk of age‑related degradation unrelated to use. Given the clean MOT history, the buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or any signs of perishing, and confirm that tread depth is at least the legal minimum of 1.6 mm, though 3 mm or more is preferable on a vehicle of this era. Inspect the suspension components – especially the front lower arms, bushings and coil springs – for any looseness, corrosion or audible clunking when the wheels are rocked. Braking should be checked for disc thickness, pad wear and any pulsation or shudder when applying the brakes, as brake discs can corrode or warp after periods of low use. Verify the condition of the 12‑volt battery, looking for swollen cells or a low resting voltage, and consider a load test if the battery is more than three years old. Time‑based fluids such as engine oil, coolant and brake fluid should be sampled for colour and contamination, and replaced if the service records show the last change was beyond the recommended interval (typically every 12‑24 months for oil and every two years for brake fluid). During a test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the front or rear suspension, and watch for the car pulling to one side, which could indicate alignment or worn steering components. Observe the operation of all electronic systems – climate control, infotainment, and driver‑assist features – and ensure no warning lights illuminate on the instrument cluster. After the drive, inspect the ground for fresh oil, coolant or water leaks, and check the under‑body for rust, especially around the wheel arches and chassis rails. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic, focusing on these points, will give the buyer confidence that the vehicle remains mechanically sound and road‑worthy.
