2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · RY05 BYE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as the most recent MOT on 6 October 2025 at 109,003 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, with alternating pass/fail outcomes that contain no recorded defects, indicating consistent compliance with DVSA standards. The mileage trajectory shows a steady increase from 87,551 miles in December 2022 to 109,003 miles by October 2025, averaging roughly 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle's 12‑year age and typical usage patterns; there are no extended periods of inactivity evident in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that commonly exhibit wear on a 2014 C‑Class: inspect the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or sagging, examine brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, verify that the brake calipers move freely and that pads have adequate thickness, and check the exhaust system for rust, cracks or failed emission readings; also assess tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and fluid levels, as these consumables often show early signs of neglect. Given the absence of recurring structural or mechanical failures in the MOT history, the primary risk lies in normal ageing of suspension and braking components, so a thorough visual and functional inspection during a pre‑purchase view is advisable to confirm that wear remains within acceptable limits.
