2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C4.0L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-08-15 MOT at 46,094 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024-07-26, 2023-06-28, and 2022-02-23 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The sole 2023-04-24 failure at 36,546 miles is listed as having no defects, which may suggest a procedural error or minor non-compliance not impacting safety. Overall, the record reflects a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical concerns. The mileage of 46,094 miles over eight years equates to approximately 5,762 miles annually, below the average for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 14-month interval between the 2022-02-23 test (26,846 miles) and the 2023-04-24 failure, during which the vehicle gained 9,700 miles. Subsequent tests show gradual accumulation, with 3,158 miles added between 2023-06-28 and 2024-07-26, and 6,382 miles between 2024-07-26 and 2025-08-15. This pattern suggests sporadic usage, potentially increasing the risk of component degradation from inactivity, such as seized suspension bushes or brake calipers. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for wear, particularly given the low mileage, which may mask hidden issues from prolonged inactivity. Check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding, as infrequent use can lead to uneven wear. The exhaust system and underbody should also be examined for rust, as low-mileage vehicles are sometimes stored in environments conducive to corrosion. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the irregular usage pattern warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
