2004 Mercedes C180 Kompressor SE Auto 1.8L Petrol · AEZ 5010

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass achieved on 11 December 2025 at 89,032 miles with no defects recorded. While the record shows a technical failure entry just two days prior at 88,999 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests an administrative error or a rapid re-test success rather than a mechanical failure. Since the November 2022 test, the car has maintained a clean sheet without any advisory notices, indicating a consistent level of basic mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,047 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 84,796 miles and December 2025 at 89,032 miles, the car covered only 4,236 miles over a three-year period. This low frequency of use typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components. however, long periods of stationary or low-mile driving can lead to specific issues such as the degradation of rubber-based components or the oxidation of fluids. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the structural integrity of the chassis, as low-age vehicles from this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and wheel arches regardless of mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, as these materials age over time even without use. Given the low usage, verify the brake calipers for seizing or surface pitting, as brake systems often develop internal rust when not used frequently enough to clear away debris.
