2021 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · A14 PAV

The Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 February 2026 at 50,647 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual examination on 10 February 2025 at 40,659 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across its four-year MOT footprint, indicating consistent upkeep by previous keepers. Annual mileage averages 10,129 against the vehicle's five-year life, a typical figure for this age of executive saloon. The records show 29,757 miles at the 5 January 2024 test, rising to 40,543 miles by the failed 4 February 2025 attempt and 40,659 miles six days later on the pass. The 2025 to 2026 period added 9,988 miles. A short failed test preceded the immediate pass in February 2025 with only 116 miles between them, yet the DVSA entry logs no defects on either date, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. Given the clean history with zero advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the buyer faces low technical risk from the record alone. The absence of flagged items means no worsening pattern of consumable wear or structural concern exists in the data. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody structural integrity, as these are not always captured in a pass result. The early 2025 failure with no listed defect warrants a check of the original refusal reason to rule out a missed minor item, though the subsequent clean pass implies resolution.
