2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C1.5L Petrol

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 17 October 2025 at 53,577 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This continues a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that has been kept in peak mechanical condition. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for an eight year old car. The odometer increased by 10,195 miles between October 2024 and October 2025, which aligns with the overall average of roughly 6,697 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the record that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The history is remarkably sparse regarding mechanical failures. The only anomaly occurred on 26 September 2023 at 33,489 miles, where the vehicle failed before passing the following day. Since no specific defects were listed for that failure, it likely related to a minor administrative error or a quick-fix consumable. There is no evidence of recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on standard wear items that the MOT does not always quantify. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these are consumables that can degrade between tests. Given the lack of structural flags or corrosion in the DVSA record, the primary goal should be verifying that the service history matches the clean MOT record to ensure the engine and drivetrain have received the same care as the chassis.
