2004 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.7L Diesel

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent MOT on 30 June 2025 at 160,983 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While the car failed its tests in both July 2024 and June 2025, these failures were resolved almost immediately, as evidenced by the passing tests recorded just days later. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered approximately 8,138 miles between the July 2024 test at 157,718 miles and the June 2025 test at 160,983 miles. This indicates regular, moderate use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of any recorded advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a twenty-two-year-old Mercedes-Benz. A buyer should specifically inspect the vehicle for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as these are common failure points for this era of C-Class that may not have been flagged if the car was meticulously maintained or recently treated. Given the high total mileage of 160,983, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. You should also check for any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox, as the MOT record focuses on safety and emissions rather than general mechanical health or fluid leaks.
