2008 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · FT57 AGX

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 25 July 2024, where it passed at 164,693 miles. The pattern of alternating passes and administrative failures, with no recorded defects, indicates a stable maintenance trend rather than a deterioration or improvement. Mileage has risen from 112,712 miles in July 2022 to 131,173 miles in June 2023 and then to 164,693 miles by July 2024. This equates to roughly 20,000 miles per year over the last two years, a figure consistent with average use for a vehicle of this age. No significant gaps appear in the record, and the absence of recorded advisories suggests that major wear items have not yet triggered MOT alerts. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the brake system, given the lack of recorded brake advisories but the vehicle’s age and mileage. Inspect the suspension components—bushings, coil springs, and any signs of uneven wear—since high annual mileage can accelerate degradation. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as consumable wear is not reflected in the MOT data. Finally, conduct a visual check for corrosion on the chassis and under‑body panels, ensuring that structural integrity has not been compromised despite the clean MOT history.
