2013 Mercedes-Benz C 6.2L Petrol · M88 RCU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The September 2025 test at 87,543 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This follows a period of minor volatility in late 2024, but the current data suggests the vehicle is currently in a well-maintained state. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 32,450 miles in March 2016 to the current 87,543 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage or signs of excessive, rapid mileage accumulation that would suggest heavy commercial use or high-stress driving. The gradual increase in mileage supports the likelihood of light to moderate usage over the vehicle's lifespan. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and fluid lines. The September 2024 test at 74,608 miles initially resulted in a failure due to corroded brake pipes on both the nearside and offside front, as well as a tyre with exposed cords. While the subsequent pass confirms these specific faults were rectified, the presence of corrosion on brake lines warrants a physical inspection of the entire hydraulic system and chassis for any signs of emerging oxidation. Beyond the brake pipes, the absence of recent advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions is a positive indicator. However, given the age of the vehicle, a manual check of the underside for structural corrosion and the condition of all rubber seals and hoses remains a prudent step. The history suggests the previous owner addressed critical safety failures promptly, which is a reliable indicator of proactive upkeep.
