MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 AMG LINE EDITION E AUTO2020 · 2.0L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 19 November 2025 at 83,643 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent lapse in preventative care, evidenced by a failure just one day prior to that test. The tester failed the vehicle due to a fractured offside front coil spring and insufficient tyre tread depth on both rear tyres. While these issues were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the failure suggests the owner only addressed faults upon official inspection rather than performing proactive maintenance. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 36,488 miles and the November 2024 test at 66,993 miles, the car covered over 30,000 miles in a single year. This consistent high-mileage puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The rapid accumulation of 16,650 miles since the last MOT confirms the vehicle remains in heavy use, which accelerates the wear of rubber bushes and consumable items. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. Given the fractured offside front coil spring, it is vital to check the remaining springs for signs of corrosion or stress-related hairline fractures. The high mileage also suggests that the brake discs and pads may be nearing the end of their life; check for uneven thinning or binding calipers. Inspect the rear tyres for consistent wear patterns and age, as the previous failure for tread depth indicates the previous owner may have neglected basic replacements until forced by the MOT tester.
