MERCEDES C220 SE CDI A2007 · 2.1L DIESEL

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 May 2024 at 201,213 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or faults flagged across a five-year span. Recorded mileage rose from 131,511 at the August 2019 test to 201,213 by May 2024, an average of roughly 14,000 miles per year against a lifetime norm of 10,590. The August 2021 entry shows a failed test at 161,803 miles followed by a pass eighteen days later at 162,576 miles with no defects listed, implying the failure stemmed from a paperwork or non-mechanical cause rather than a worn component. Otherwise the DVSA history is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions issues ever noted. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's nineteen-year age and 201k mileage, as MOT testers often miss early chassis rust on older Mercedes diesels. The front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear should be physically checked despite the absence of advisories, since high annual use accelerates consumable fatigue that a pass certificate does not quantify. The repeated clean tests suggest the previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the 2021 anomaly and the long gap between the 2019 and 2021 examinations mean intermittent use cannot be ruled out.
