2020 Mercedes-Benz C 1.9L Diesel · BT20 JYN

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED MOT on 2026-01-09 at 76,840 miles, indicating that the most recent inspection was recent enough to reflect current conditions, though the test itself revealed no immediate mechanical defects. This recent passing suggests the car has maintained sufficient roadworthiness for the period, but the history of two separate failures on the same date indicates a potential trend of instability or a lack of consistent upkeep in the short term. The mileage record shows a significant gap between the 2026 test and the 2025 test, with the car having only 71,072 miles recorded between these two dates. This 7,769-mile gap suggests that the owner may have been absent or the vehicle was parked in a location where maintenance was not performed, or the owner simply did not record the mileage accurately between the two tests. While the mileage does not show an immediate acceleration of wear, the fact that the engine covers and under-trays were fitted in 2024 implies that the mechanical integrity of the drivetrain was not checked during the 2026 inspection. Given the two failures recorded in 2026, the car is not roadworthy for continued use without further inspection. The mechanical risks include potential suspension bushings, coil springs, or binding calipers, as well as structural issues such as exhaust emissions or corrosion. To determine the true state of the vehicle, the buyer must inspect the car in person to check for these specific components and assess the condition of the engine covers and under-trays, which were fitted in 2024.
