2018 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KV18 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2023 at 75,710 miles passed with no defects or advisories, marking a significant improvement over the issues noted in the previous year. This shift suggests that the previous owner addressed identified concerns and has since maintained the vehicle to a clean standard according to DVSA testing criteria. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for this age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between February 2021 at 33,561 miles and February 2022 at 51,776 miles, the car covered 18,215 miles, indicating regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation. The gap of 23,934 miles recorded between 2022 and 2023 shows a slight increase in annual mileage, which generally benefits mechanical components like brake seals and suspension bushings by preventing premature seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition, as the 2021 test flagged an offside rear tyre as worn to the limit and showing structural cracking. While the 2023 record shows no defects, the current tyres must be checked for age and depth to ensure the replacement was performed correctly. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the front suspension coil springs and lateral control arm bushes is also advisable, as these components often show wear on C-Class models as they approach the 80,000-mile mark.
