MERCEDES-BENZ C2013 · 2.1L Diesel

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz C passed its most recent MOT on 10 July 2025 at 125,101 miles with no defects recorded, so the vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness certificate. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the lead-up to that pass is irregular. Three failed tests in July 2025 at 124,888, 125,088 and 125,101 miles were logged with no defects recorded, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a worsening mechanical condition. Recorded mileage rose from 117,059 miles at the July 2024 test to 125,101 miles by July 2025, an annual gain of roughly 8,042 miles that sits below the lifetime average of 9,623 miles per year. The DVSA data shows clean passes in July 2024 and July 2025 with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions or corrosion across either year. Sparse history with zero flagged faults limits our view of consumable wear, but the low defect count suggests the previous owner kept the car to minimum test standards. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the brake discs, coil springs and subframe for structural rust given the car is now 13 years old. The repeated no-defect failures in early July 2025 imply the vehicle may have been presented multiple times around a sale, so verify the V5C and odometer continuity against the 124,888 to 125,101 mile cluster. Check the front suspension arms and rear trailing bushes for play that a visual MOT might miss, and confirm the tyre tread depth and wiper condition despite no advisories being raised. The clean record offers reassurance, yet the absence of historical detail means in-person checks on drivetrain leaks and underbody corrosion remain essential before purchase.
