2002 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · A4 HEC

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the pass recorded on 28 October 2021 at 152,157 miles. The maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable, worsening, or improving beyond that date, as no further tests appear on file. The most recent examination cleared the car with no defects logged, yet the single prior day's failure at 152,156 miles with no defects listed suggests an administrative or documentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly 24 years old the recorded 152,157 miles equate to about 6,340 miles per year, which is typical use for a 2002 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The history shows an extreme mileage plateau: the failed and passed tests one day apart differ by only one mile, and no earlier or later entries exist. Such sparse data gives no view of wear progression and implies the car may have covered negligible distance across many years or simply lacked continuous testing. A buyer should physically verify structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the age invites rust where moisture collects. The tester noted no advisories on bushes, coils, or brake discs, but standing time accelerates perishing of rubber components and seizing of calipers. Given the one-mile gap between failure and pass, confirm with the seller why the 2021-10-27 test failed with no defects cited. Inspect tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition for degradation from prolonged inactivity, and commission a pre-purchase check before relying on the clean 2021 result as evidence of present condition.
