2013 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · AB13 BJB

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the September 2025 test at 41,022 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed entry on the same date at identical mileage suggests an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical defect, repeated in January 2024 at 33,157 miles under the same clean condition. Recorded mileage sits at 41,022 against a 2013 build, averaging roughly 3,156 miles per year. The jump from 33,157 miles in January 2024 to 33,648 miles in September 2024 shows only 491 miles in eight months, then 7,374 miles by September 2025. Such low, uneven use over thirteen years implies long standing periods rather than sustained wear on drivetrain or suspension components. With no corrosion, brake, suspension, or emission issues logged across five tests, the DVSA data shows no recurring faults requiring targeted follow-up. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs, suspension bushes, and underbody structural integrity, as MOT passes at low mileage do not capture gradual perishables or intermittent binding calipers hidden by short test routes. Given the twin fail-and-pass pairs at matching mileages, verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm those failures were clerical and not suppressed defects. The clean sheet supports careful ownership, but standing time raises the risk of seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and fluid degradation not visible in the record.
