2014 Mercedes-Benz C 6.2L Petrol · UP55 TEW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 September 2025 at 52,185 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in prior tests have been addressed. This follows a period in late 2024 where the vehicle failed due to multiple tyre defects and registration non-compliance. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 52,185 miles represents a low usage pattern, averaging approximately 4,350 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 3,790 miles driven between the August 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 3,649 miles covered before the most recent test. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake surfaces due to age and periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the tyres and wheel alignment, as the September 2024 failure highlighted all four tyres as being worn to the legal limit or on uneven edges, with the nearside front tyre suffering a structural cut reaching the cords. Recurring uneven wear suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require verification. Additionally, given the vehicle's age and relatively low mileage, a physical check of the brake discs for corrosion or pitting is necessary, as these components can seize on cars that are not driven frequently.
