2023 Mercedes-Benz C300 AMG LN NGT ED Prm+ Mhev A 2.0L Hybrid electric · 79 AD

The most recent DVSA MOT, carried out on 19 March 2026, was recorded as a full pass with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, there is no evidence of deteriorating condition; the lack of any failures suggests that, to date, the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies the statutory safety and emissions criteria. At three years old the Mercedes‑Benz C300 AMG has logged 28 481 miles, averaging just under 9 500 miles per annum. This figure sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a premium executive saloon and does not indicate any periods of excessive short‑trip abuse or prolonged idling. The mileage is low enough that major wear items such as the timing chain, clutch (in the automatic), and drive‑shaft components are unlikely to be approaching the end of their service life, but they should still be inspected for any signs of abnormal wear given the vehicle’s performance orientation. For a car of this age and mileage the buyer should begin with a thorough visual and tactile inspection of the tyres. Even if the tread depth is acceptable, sidewall cracking, dry rot, or age‑related hardening can develop after three years of limited use, especially if the car has spent long periods on the road‑side. Verify that the tyre age (four‑digit DOT code) does not exceed 48 months, and check that the wheels are free of corrosion that could affect bearing operation. The 12‑volt battery should be tested for cranking voltage and state‑of‑charge, as a hybrid‑assist system can mask a weakening conventional battery; any sluggish start or dimming interior lighting would merit a replacement. Finally, examine the braking system, suspension bushings, and hybrid‑electric components. Look for any uneven tyre wear that might point to worn suspension bushes, mis‑aligned coil springs, or binding calipers; a test drive should reveal any brake pedal pulsation, shudder, or noise on deceleration. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust or glazing, especially if the car has been stationary for extended periods, and ensure the caliper pistons move freely. Fluid levels and condition—engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and the MHEV coolant for the electric motor—should be checked against service intervals, as time‑based degradation can occur even with modest mileage. Confirm that the service booklet shows regular oil changes and that any manufacturer‑issued recalls for the AMG powertrain or hybrid system have been addressed. These checks will give a prospective buyer confidence that the vehicle’s mechanical condition aligns with its clean MOT record and relatively low mileage.
