2013 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · WP13 AAU

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 11 September 2025 at 100,365 miles with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests from July 2022 through September 2024 also returned passes with zero advisories. A solitary failure on 19 July 2022 at 76,801 miles listed no defects and was superseded by a pass at 76,802 miles on the same day, indicating an administrative or mileage-recording anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 13-year-old car. From the 19 July 2022 test at 76,802 miles to the 8 August 2023 test at 84,037 miles the car covered 7,235 miles. The subsequent 9 August 2024 reading of 91,474 miles shows 7,437 miles added, and the 11 September 2025 figure of 100,365 miles reflects 8,891 miles over thirteen months. This equates to roughly 7,700 miles per year, matching the expected average. The history is sparse, offering only yearly snapshots, yet consistently clean apart from the duplicated 2022 entries. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the official record, so the buyer faces no flagged warnings on suspension bushes, brake calipers, exhaust emissions or corrosion. The absence of advisories across four successive passes suggests either diligent upkeep by previous owners or conservative test reporting. A Mercedes-Benz C of this age and mileage warrants a physical inspection of coil springs, steering joints and subframe condition to confirm no hidden rust or worn components exist beyond the tester's scope. The same-day fail and pass in July 2022 deserve verification through the full DVSA certificate history to rule out a clocking or data-entry error. Given the clean trajectory, the car looks mechanically sound, but a pre-purchase inspection should still measure brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth, as these consumables degrade without always triggering MOT advisories.
