2008 MERCEDES-BENZ C1.8L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-04 at 128,811 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the same date shows a prior failure with no defects noted, suggesting potential administrative or procedural inconsistencies. Earlier tests from 2024-08-19 (124,301 miles) and 2023-07-31 (116,641 miles) were both passed with no defects, establishing a stable trend over the past three years. No recurring mechanical issues or worsening conditions are evident from the recorded data. The vehicle’s mileage of 128,811 miles at 18 years old aligns with an average annual usage of 7,156 miles, reflecting typical wear for its age. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes. The 2023-07-31 test at 116,641 miles and subsequent 2024-08-19 test at 124,301 miles indicate gradual accumulation, avoiding excessive strain on components like the drivetrain or suspension. No anomalies in usage patterns are apparent from the provided records. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension, brakes, and exhaust system during an in-person inspection, as these areas are critical for older vehicles. While no defects were recorded, the 2025-09-04 failure at the same mileage as the pass warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it resulted from non-mechanical factors. Checking for corrosion, particularly in underbody components, and assessing brake disc thickness would provide further assurance. The absence of advisories or failures in prior tests suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements.
