2014 Mercedes-Benz C220 SE Bluetec 2.1L Diesel · UGZ 2509

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-12-12 at 112,607 miles, but this test predates the current date by over a year, rendering the vehicle legally unroadworthy without a valid certificate. Previous tests in 2025 and 2023 recorded failures without defects, suggesting potential inconsistencies in maintenance or testing standards. The absence of recorded faults in passing tests implies no critical issues were identified in the last two years, though the expired MOT status necessitates immediate retesting. Mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with 97,276 miles in 2023 rising to 112,607 by 2025—a 15,331-mile increase over 24 months. This aligns with the vehicle’s 12-year age, averaging 9,384 miles annually, which is typical for its era. No significant gaps or rapid spikes in mileage are evident, indicating consistent usage. The MOT history lacks anomalies in this regard, though the lack of recent data beyond 2025 raises concerns about unmonitored wear. A physical inspection should prioritise suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, given the age and mileage. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in older vehicles. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or panel damage may have developed without recent testing. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the expired status underscores the need for a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection to confirm ongoing roadworthiness.
