MERCEDES-BENZ C2009 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent clean record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 5 January 2026 at 69,300 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained clean sheet across multiple tests suggests a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has proactively addressed any mechanical or safety concerns before they could result in a failure or an advisory. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old Mercedes, averaging only approximately 4,000 miles per annum. Between September 2021 and November 2022, the car covered only 4,087 miles, indicating long periods of stationary use. A more significant usage spike occurred between September 2024 and January 2026, where the vehicle clocked 15,416 miles in sixteen months. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk related to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown due to lack of use. Despite the lack of recorded faults, a physical inspection must focus on areas common to low-mileage, older vehicles. The buyer should check for perished rubber suspension bushes and split tyre boots, which degrade due to age regardless of distance travelled. Given the periods of standing, the brakes should be inspected for seized calipers or rusted discs. Additionally, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion is necessary to ensure that structural integrity has not been compromised by age despite the clean MOT history.
