Our Verdict

This 2005 Mercedes C presents significant corrosion risks despite a clean MOT record. Proceed with caution and thoroughly inspect suspension components.

Prioritize a detailed mechanical inspection of the suspension system, focusing on the rear coil springs and anti-roll bar components. Check for rust in the exhaust system and verify if previous corrosion issues were addressed. Negotiate the price to account for potential future repair costs. Request full service history to confirm maintenance of critical components. Be wary of hidden bodywork corrosion beneath the silver paint.
