2013 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · WP13 ACV

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 18 September 2025 at 136,418 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The absence of any advisories or defects in the most recent test suggests the car entered its latest certification in sound mechanical condition. Prior to this, the 2024 and 2025 tests each show a fail followed by a pass on consecutive days, yet no defects were recorded against either failure, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than latent mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 10,494 miles per year for a 2013 vehicle now showing 136,418 miles. The record moves from 113,837 miles at the October 2023 test to 125,583 miles in October 2024, then to 136,339 miles by September 2025, reflecting steady annual use of roughly 11,000 to 12,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or standing periods. The DVSA data is sparse, offering only five entries over three years, and all show zero recorded defects, which limits insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component life remaining. The same applies to underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions, where early corrosion or degrading catalysts often escape detection until failure. The repeated same-day fail-pass cycles in 2024 and 2025 warrant a check of the VIN and test documentation to confirm no suppressed defects, though the record itself flags nothing against the Mercedes-Benz C.
