2013 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · SC62 AAO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last five years. The most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 120,750 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car currently meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards without any immediate mechanical concerns flagged by the tester. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,288 miles per year. The distance covered between the October 2022 test at 89,463 miles and the October 2025 test at 120,750 miles shows a steady usage pattern. A brief anomaly occurred in October 2024, where the car failed on 17 October at 110,351 miles and passed five days later at 110,451 miles. The lack of recorded defects in the provided data for that failure suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a major mechanical breakdown. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a thirteen year old Mercedes-Benz and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance. There are no recurring trends of suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions failures that typically plague high-mileage C-Class models. The record implies the previous owner addressed wear-and-tear items before they reached the threshold of an MOT failure. A physical inspection should still focus on common age-related degradation not always captured in a standard MOT. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the steering rack and suspension mounts. While the MOT history is clean, verifying the service intervals for the gearbox and drivetrain is recommended given the 120,750 mile odometer reading.
