AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 April 2025 at 44,920 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across every annual examination since 2021. Annual mileage sits well below typical norms for an eight-year-old executive saloon. The records show 27,995 miles in May 2021, rising to 33,522 by May 2022, 37,856 in April 2023, 42,599 in May 2024, and 44,920 in April 2025. That equates to roughly 5,600 miles per year. The car saw consistent but light use with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data carries no advisories or failures at any point, so the history is sparse on faults by any measure. A clean sheet across five tests gives no recorded grounds to suspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion. Low annual use does, however, raise the risk of perished rubber components and moisture-related issues not captured by the tester. The buyer should still confirm underbody condition and check for fluid leaks or degraded hoses in person. Given the absence of any flagged defects, previous owners appear to have kept the vehicle to a sound standard. Verify service history matches the low mileage and inspect tyres and brake condition for age-related hardening rather than wear.
