Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When inspecting this vehicle, focus heavily on the condition of the tyres and the suspension system. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or wearing unevenly on the edges, which could indicate underlying wheel alignment or suspension geometry issues.
Ask for evidence of recent tyre replacements and a professional wheel alignment check. Given the 2024 advisory regarding anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers, you should check for any knocking sounds from the front end when driving over uneven surfaces. Additionally, confirm if the brake pipe corrosion noted in 2023 has been fully addressed and if there is any evidence of recent brake pad or disc replacement following the 2024 advisory.
As a 2.1L diesel, this C-Class is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will depend on driving style. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a diesel executive saloon.
Tax and insurance will vary based on the specific insurance group and local tax bands, but maintenance costs for a Mercedes-Benz of this age can be higher than for non-premium brands. Budget for regular servicing and potential repairs to suspension components and braking systems, which have appeared in the MOT history.
Specifically inspect the tyres for uneven wear patterns; the MOT history indicates multiple instances where tyres were worn on the edges or inside edges, which often suggests tracking issues. Check the tread depth across all four tyres to ensure they are well above the legal limit.
Examine the front suspension area for any signs of perished rubber or leaking dust covers, referencing the 2024 failure regarding anti-roll bar ball joint covers. You should also look closely at the brake lines and pipes to ensure the corrosion mentioned in the 2023 test has been professionally rectified and is not progressing.
This 2014 silver Mercedes-Benz C-Class diesel has covered 123,628 miles since its registration in May 2014. The MOT history reveals frequent issues with tyre wear and suspension components, specifically anti-roll bar ball joint covers. Although the 2026 MOT shows no defects, the vehicle has a documented history of multiple tyre-related advisory items across several years.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 82.4% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including tyres, suspension arms, and headlamps.
