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

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2025-05-06 at 94,525 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,271 miles, typical for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 68,209 miles in June 2021, 75,927 in June 2022, 83,028 in June 2023, 89,185 in May 2024, and 94,525 in May 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry listing zero advisories across suspension, brakes, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity. A clean history with no advisories suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. That said, the MOT test does not strip components, so a buyer should still inspect in person for early wear the tester would not flag. Check front suspension bushes and rear coil springs for cracking, and measure brake disc thickness against spec. Given the car's age, examine underbody and sill sections for corrosion the annual test may have missed on a brief ramp check. Verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and confirm the service history matches the low advisory count. The recorded evidence supports a sound purchase, subject to a physical inspection.
