2014 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · SH60 ACE

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 2 October 2025 at 116,560 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health is consistent with the four previous tests dating back to September 2021, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a twelve year old executive saloon. The vehicle covered 12,628 miles between September 2021 and September 2022, and 9,768 miles between September 2023 and October 2024. These figures suggest regular, steady use rather than erratic bursts of high mileage or long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits the health of seals and gaskets. The absence of any advisories or failures over a five year period is rare for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The record shows no history of recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. There are no indications of structural integrity concerns or chassis rust, which often plague older Mercedes-Benz models in the UK climate. A buyer should still perform a physical check of the common wear items that MOT testers may overlook if they are within legal limits. Focus on the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads, as these are consumables that may be nearing the end of their life despite the clean MOT record. Checking the service history for evidence of automatic gearbox fluid changes and timing chain maintenance would complete the due diligence for this specific model.
