2020 Mercedes-Benz C 1.9L Diesel · 18 PJG

The Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 118,091 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests in October 2024, 2023, and 2022 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 22 October 2024 at 103,683 miles that was immediately retested and passed two days later with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive fault. The mileage pattern runs high for a 2020 model. At 118,091 miles over roughly six years the car averages near 19,700 miles per year, well above typical private use. The records show steady annual accumulation: 72,724 miles in October 2022, 88,367 in October 2023, 103,683 in October 2024, and 118,091 in October 2025. The roughly 14,000 to 15,000 mile yearly increments indicate consistent motorway or commuter use rather than long dormant periods, with no suspicious gaps in testing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high annual mileage. The clean MOT history means no advisories flag emerging corrosion or binding calipers, but the DVSA test only samples condition on the day. The 2024 fail with no recorded defect warrants a check of the test station paperwork to confirm it was not a concealed emissions or documentation issue. Given the sparse but clean record, previous owners appear to have kept the vehicle to a basic pass standard without accruing advisories. The two-day turnaround from fail to pass in October 2024 implies prompt attention to whatever halted the first test. Expect consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades to need replacement sooner than on a lower-mileage example.
