2009 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · AD09 DZE

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 10 September 2025 at 179,092 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only blemishes being two administrative failures on 16 June 2023 at 137,200 miles and 10 September 2025 at 179,089 miles where the tester logged no defects. These indicate presentation or documentation issues rather than mechanical faults, and the car cleared both on the same day after re-test. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,535 miles per year against the car's 2009 build, a typical load for a 17-year-old executive saloon. The records show 137,396 miles in June 2023, 157,096 miles in June 2024, and 179,092 miles in September 2025, equating to about 20,000 miles in the last interval and 19,700 in the prior one. The clean pass sheets with zero advisories across four years suggest either diligent pre-test preparation or a genuinely sound chassis, though the absence of flagged wear items at this mileage is unusual and warrants scrutiny. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the 179,000-mile accumulation. The DVSA data records no corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or structural integrity concerns, yet high-mileage Mercedes-Benz C-class units commonly develop subframe rust and worn front control arm bushes unseen in a cursory test. The twin zero-defect failures without listed faults imply the previous keeper addressed whatever halted the test before re-presenting. Verify the service history matches the odometer and confirm no hidden advisory work such as tyre or brake replacement was quietly undertaken between the failed and passed slots on those dates.
