MERCEDES-BENZ C2013 · 2.1L Diesel

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the September 2025 MOT test at 127,288 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. Maintenance trend across the available history reads stable, with no mechanical advisories or recurring faults logged across any examination. The only anomalies are two failed tests in June 2023 and July 2024 that carried no defect entries, each immediately followed by a clean pass within days. Annual mileage sits close to the typical expectation for a 2013 registered car, averaging roughly 9,800 miles per year. The record shows 107,956 miles at the June 2023 failure, rising to 108,222 miles by the July 2023 pass, then 115,509 miles at the July 2024 failure and 115,758 miles at the August 2024 pass. The final jump to 127,288 miles by September 2025 reflects about 11,500 miles in thirteen months, a consistent accumulation. The dataset is sparse, covering only five tests across three years, yet it reveals no progressive wear flags. Given the absence of recorded defects, the previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the repeated fail-with-no-defect pattern suggests either premature test bookings or administrative rejections rather than neglected mechanical care. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components endure fatigue on a high-mileage executive saloon regardless of MOT outcome. Structural integrity and corrosion protection warrant scrutiny beneath the sills and subframes, particularly on a Mercedes of this era exposed to UK winter salting. The exhaust emissions passed without note, but a pre-purchase check of drivetrain mounts and steering joints remains prudent.
