2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C3.0L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT history across five consecutive annual tests. The most recent inspection conducted in May 2025 at 23,971 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently been kept to meet minimum safety standards without the recurring mechanical degradation or structural corrosion often seen in German vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between September 2021 and May 2025, the car covered only 10,910 miles, suggesting very light use or extended periods of storage. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a relatively consistent usage of 4,396 miles. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, it often introduces risks related to fluid degradation and perish of rubber components due to inactivity. Because the MOT history shows no recorded mechanical faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas affected by low-mileage operation. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or light corrosion, as infrequent use can lead to calipers seizing or uneven wear. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and age rot, as rubber often degrades before tread wears on stationary vehicles. Additionally, verify that the service history follows a time-based interval rather than just mileage-based to ensure engine oil and brake fluids have been replaced despite the low distance covered.
