2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.2L Diesel · PM13 AMG

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz C presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 18 October 2024 at 98,316 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and every prior annual examination since July 2020 also passed without advisories. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, recurring defects, or unresolved mechanical risks across the five-year record. Annual mileage averages roughly 8,200 miles against the vehicle's twelve-year life, a typical use pattern for this age of executive saloon. The records show steady accumulation: 53,671 miles in July 2020, 63,843 by July 2021, 73,351 in July 2022, 85,574 by August 2023, and 98,316 at the October 2024 test. No gaps exceed thirteen months and no sudden jumps in distance suggest neglected high-load use. The DVSA data is sparse on faults but consistently clean, which implies the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current without deferred entries. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car is now over a decade old and past 90,000 miles. The MOT history flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet test passes with zero advisories do not confirm component remaining life once a vehicle enters its second decade. Verify in person that the tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions remain within limits, and confirm service history beyond the MOT to validate drivetrain care. The absence of recorded defects points to sound previous ownership, but clean MOT sheets alone are not a substitute for a physical mechanical appraisal.
