2007 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · BF57 AEJ

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a pass at 321,820 miles on 10 October 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the preceding annual tests show a consistent pattern of compliance once minor re-tests were cleared. The recorded mileage stands at 321,820 against a 2007 build, equating to roughly 16,938 miles per year and reflecting high use for a nineteen-year-old saloon. Annual accumulation is steady: 300,186 miles in October 2023, 310,648 by October 2024, and 321,820 by October 2025. The only anomalies are the two failed tests with no defects logged, on 13 and 7 October in 2023 and 2025 respectively, each followed within days by a pass at near-identical mileage, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault. Given the sparse record and absence of advisories across five years, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of high-mileage wear items. At over 321,000 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and drivetrain mounts warrant physical checks for fatigue. Structural integrity beneath arches and sills should be examined for corrosion given the age and annual mileage. The clean MOT lineage implies the previous keepers addressed roadworthiness to pass standard but offers no insight into consumable condition between tests. A pre-purchase examination of tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions under load, and binding calipers remains prudent before commitment.
