2013 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · DE63 AEA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 September 2024 at 96,681 miles with no recorded defects. While the history shows immediate failures on the same dates in both 2023 and 2024, these entries suggest that issues were rectified promptly to secure a pass. The current trend indicates a consistently maintained mechanical state over the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 84,208 miles and September 2024 at 96,681 miles, the car covered 12,473 miles, representing a steady and predictable usage rate. This frequency suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary storage which often leads to seal degradation and corrosion, nor has it undergone excessive high-intensity motorway use. Despite the clean records from the most recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear on this Mercedes-Benz model. At nearly 97,000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers require close scrutiny for perished rubber or leaks. The buyer should also examine the brake discs for thinning and check the calipers for signs of binding, as the MOT does not measure the remaining life of these consumable components until they reach a failure threshold.
