2007 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · BF57 ACU

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 September 2024 at 166,877 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 12 September 2023 at 163,055 miles confirms no outstanding advisories in the last two cycles. The record shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. Mileage sits at 166,877 as of the 2024 test, averaging roughly 8,783 miles per year against the vehicle's 19-year life, which is typical for the age. The gap between the 2021 test at 154,085 miles and the 2022 test at 157,647 miles shows only 3,562 miles covered, then 5,408 miles to September 2023, then 3,822 to 2024. The sparse five-entry record carries no advisories or consumable wear flags, so the data alone implies consistent but unremarkable use with no rapid accumulation or long standing periods. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs in person given the car's high total mileage and age, as these components wear without always triggering MOT advisories on a pass. The September 2023 failure at 163,051 miles with no defects listed suggests an administrative or presentational issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault, since the retest four working days later passed. No structural corrosion or exhaust emissions concerns appear in the official record, but underside checks for rust remain prudent on a 2007 chassis.
