2005 Mercedes-Benz C 320 3.0L Diesel · AX55 ENT

The vehicle is presently roadworthy; the latest MOT on 12 May 2025 at 109,272 miles passed, showing a stable maintenance pattern after a brief series of administrative failures earlier that year, none of which recorded mechanical defects. Mileage has risen from 102,385 miles on 1 December 2021 to 106,329 miles on 1 December 2022, then to 109,272 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 1,000 miles per year in the most recent period, well below the average for a 21‑year‑old Mercedes‑Benz C 320. The low annual accumulation suggests light use or periods of inactivity rather than high‑stress operation, and the record contains no unexplained gaps. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of suspension components such as bushings and coil springs, inspect brake discs and pads for wear, and check tyre tread depth despite the low mileage. Given the vehicle’s age, a visual survey for surface rust on body panels, wheel arches, and under‑carriage is prudent. Confirm that the earlier failures were purely clerical; any hidden corrosion or wear not captured by the MOT would become apparent during a thorough in‑person examination.
