2019 Mercedes-Benz C 220 AMG Line D Auto 1.9L Diesel · EIW 135

The most recent MOT, conducted on 4 August 2025 at 58,199 miles, resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. That outcome, combined with the equally clean pass on 28 May 2024 at 40,289 miles, points to a stable and well-maintained vehicle. Nothing in the DVSA record suggests any ongoing mechanical or structural concerns, and the absence of even minor advisory items implies the car presented in sound condition at both inspections. The mileage pattern warrants a closer look. While the car’s overall figure of 58,199 miles after roughly seven years equates to about 8,300 miles per year, the interval between the two MOT tests tells a different story. Between 28 May 2024 and 4 August 2025, a period of about 14 months, the vehicle covered roughly 17,910 miles. That is approximately 15,100 miles per year, noticeably higher than the lifetime average. The earlier history is sparse, with only these two entries, so you cannot infer the first four years of usage from this record alone. The recent jump in annual mileage suggests the car has been used more intensively than its age profile initially indicates, though such a level is still within normal bounds for a diesel automatic. Given the limited MOT data and the higher recent accumulation, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on components that wear fastest under sustained use. Check the brake discs and pads for lipping or thinning, and look for signs of binding calipers on any corner. Suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and coil springs deserve scrutiny, particularly at the front, where potholes and high-mileage motorway work take their toll. Tyre condition, including evenness of tread wear across each axle, can reveal tracking or alignment faults. The clean MOT history is reassuring, but it does not replace a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion or evidence of accident repair. Confirm from the service book that oil changes and the automatic gearbox service, if due at intervals around 40,000 to 60,000 miles, have been completed in line with Mercedes-Benz schedules. The vehicle shows no red flags from the test records, but the accelerated recent use makes a thorough mechanical inspection worthwhile before purchase.
