2003 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.1L Diesel

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 13 June 2025 at 165 231 miles, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend is stable; a failure recorded on 27 March 2025 at 165 213 miles showed no defects, but the immediate follow‑up test cleared the car, indicating the issue was resolved promptly. Mileage progression from 156 542 miles in March 2022 to 165 231 miles in June 2025 averages roughly 7 200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 23‑year‑old model. The jump between March 2025 and June 2025 added only 18 miles, suggesting a period of reduced operation or storage after the brief failure. The record is sparse beyond the last two years, but the incremental increases show no excessive wear spikes. Despite a clean MOT history, the age and mileage warrant a thorough pre‑purchase inspection. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, brake discs, pads and linings for wear, and the exhaust system for corrosion. Check sills and underbody for rust, verify tyre tread depth and condition, and ensure the recent failure did not leave hidden issues such as binding calipers. A professional assessment will confirm the structural integrity and serviceability of these components.
