2020 Mercedes-Benz C 300 AMG Line Edition DE Auto 1.9L Electric diesel · BU20 AUM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-02-26 at 88,368 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2025-02-25 at 88,367 miles failed without recorded defects, raising questions about the test’s validity or last-minute remedial action. No further details on the failure are available, but the immediate retest success implies any issues were resolved. The absence of defects in prior tests (2024-03-06, 2023-03-09) indicates a generally consistent maintenance record, though the high mileage of 88,368 miles for a six-year-old vehicle suggests accelerated wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain elements. The mileage progression shows a rapid accumulation of 14,728 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. The 2023-03-09 test at 54,155 miles and 2024-03-06 test at 72,574 miles reveal a 18,419-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a 15,794-mile rise to 88,368 miles by 2025-02-26. This pattern suggests frequent use, potentially leading to premature wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes. The sparse MOT history, with no advisories or critical failures, indicates minimal reported issues, but the high mileage necessitates closer scrutiny of mechanical integrity. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often accelerates these components’ degradation. The braking system, including discs and calipers, warrants attention for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the 2025-02-25 failure involved brake-related issues. Additionally, the exhaust system and corrosion on underbody panels should be checked, as these are common wear points in vehicles with elevated mileage. While the MOT record shows no critical faults, the vehicle’s usage profile and recent test anomalies justify a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical condition.
