Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the very low annual mileage (averaging roughly 3,600 miles per year), the primary concern for a buyer should be the health of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Diesel engines of this era require regular longer runs to clear soot; you should check the service history for evidence of motorway use or DPF maintenance.
Verify the documentation regarding the ABS and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) failure from September 2025. While the car passed its re-test immediately, confirming whether a sensor was replaced or a more significant electronic module was repaired will provide better peace of mind. Ensure the service book reflects regular oil changes regardless of the low mileage.
The 2143cc diesel engine offers a balance of torque and efficiency, though tax bands for 2014 models can vary based on CO2 emissions. Insurance for a C-Class typically falls into a mid-range category, reflecting its premium status and safety features.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles tend to be higher than budget brands, particularly for genuine parts. However, the low mileage on this specific vehicle may reduce immediate wear-and-tear expenses. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, is approximately £1,300-£1,700.
Focus your inspection on the braking and stability systems. The MOT failure on 2025-09-15 specifically cited an ABS warning lamp and an Electronic Stability Control (ESC) fault; ensure no warning lights are present on the dashboard during a test drive.
Inspect the tyres for age-related cracking (perishing) rather than just tread depth, as low-mileage cars often have tyres that have timed out before they have worn down. Finally, check for any signs of diesel soot buildup in the exhaust, which can be a symptom of the low-mileage urban driving mentioned previously.
This 2014 red Mercedes-Benz C-Class diesel has covered just 43,872 miles over 12 years, which is exceptionally low for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent pass rate, including a clean test on 2026-09-01, with the only exception being a single failure in September 2025. Overall, the data suggests a vehicle that has seen very light use.
Aggregate reliability data for this specific model was not provided, but this individual vehicle's history shows few recorded defects.
