2009 Mercedes C 6.2L Petrol · V8 UJM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on April 2026 at 58,925 miles. This follows a consistent period of successful inspections over the last three years. While a failure was recorded in October 2023, the immediate re-test on the same day indicates that the identified defects were rectified promptly, and the vehicle has since been maintained to passing standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,466 miles per year. There is a significant discrepancy in the record between the 2022 test at 79,163 miles and the October 2023 test at 51,048 miles. This unexplained drop of over 28,000 miles suggests either a recording error by the testing centre or a mechanical odometer replacement. Since the 2023 entry, the car has covered only roughly 7,800 miles, indicating very low annual usage or long periods of the vehicle remaining stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber components and fluid degradation affected by age rather than mileage. Low-mile vehicles often suffer from perished suspension bushes, split tyre boots, and seized brake calipers due to lack of use. Check the structural integrity for corrosion on the subframe and rear arches, as these are common on this model regardless of distance driven. Given the inactivity, verify the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the engine oil has not developed moisture from short trips periods.
