2018 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · AM08 AAA

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent September 2025 test at 26,187 miles confirmed no issues, reinforcing a consistent maintenance record. No recurring faults or structural concerns were flagged across the eight-year span, indicating the owner prioritized regular servicing. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-maintained, though low mileage may mask certain wear patterns. The mileage progression shows steady annual increases, with 3,439 miles added between 2021 and 2022, 3,440 between 2022 and 2023, and 3,318 between 2023 and 2024. The 2025 test at 26,187 miles aligns with this trend, reflecting minimal variation. This consistency implies regular use rather than prolonged inactivity, though the total mileage remains below average for an eight-year-old vehicle. The lack of significant gaps or rapid accumulation reduces immediate risk to consumables or major components, but low mileage could still affect rubber seals, hoses, or electrical systems if the car was stored for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the suspension for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage may not have worn these parts but could leave them prone to failure if neglected. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, despite no prior issues. The exhaust system requires scrutiny for hidden leaks or rust, as low mileage does not preclude corrosion. Additionally, verify that all fluid levels and battery condition match the vehicle’s usage pattern, as infrequent driving can degrade components over time. No major structural concerns are indicated, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the MOT record’s accuracy.
