MERCEDES-BENZ C2013 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 96,576 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a period where mechanical wear was identified in the previous year. While the August 2024 test highlighted multiple suspension issues, the clean sheet from the most recent inspection indicates that the owner acted to rectify these specific faults. At 96,576 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent annual testing, with intervals of roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles between tests from 2021 through 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to accelerated rubber degradation and brake corrosion in older Mercedes. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 record flagged both nearside and offside anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers alongside worn inner suspension arm bushes. Although these appear to have been addressed, the recurring nature of rubber component failure suggests the front end is reaching its age. It is also prudent to verify the thickness of the brake discs, as the 2022 test noted significant wear at 72,173 miles, and over 24,000 miles since then, they may be nearing the end of their service life.
