Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to significantly high mileage relative to the fleet average. While the most recent MOT was clean, the vehicle's usage pattern suggests heavy wear that demands mechanical scrutiny.
When inspecting a vehicle of this mileage, your priority must be verifying the service history. At nearly 150,000 miles, critical items such as the timing chain, water pump, and gearbox oil should have been addressed according to manufacturer schedules. Look for evidence of oil leaks around the turbocharger and engine cover, which are common on this diesel engine at high deomometer readings.
Negotiate based on the high mileage, as many wear-and-tear components (like suspension bushings and injectors) are likely nearing the end of their service life. Ensure the car has a consistent history of oil changes, as the MOT record only proves safety and emissions compliance, not the internal health of the 2.2L engine.
The 2143cc diesel engine is generally efficient for long-distance cruising, but high-mileage units often face expensive repairs regarding the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and injectors. Expect a mid-range insurance group and tax band typical for a premium diesel.
Annual costs will likely be higher than a lower-mileage equivalent due to the increased likelihood of component failure. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, would fall between £1,400 and £1,800.
Pay close attention to the suspension, as the model aggregate data identifies suspension arms as a common failure point for this range. Check for play in the steering or clunking noises over uneven surfaces. Given the 148,864 miles recorded, also inspect the tyres for uneven wear, as tyres are a frequent MOT failure reason across the fleet.
Test the vehicle on the motorway to check for blue smoke from the exhaust, which could indicate turbo wear or oil issues. Since the car failed its MOT in 2022, verify that the specific issues causing that failure were properly rectified and that no new advisories have emerged since the subsequent pass.
This 2013 Mercedes-Benz C-Class features a 2.2L diesel engine and has covered 148,864 miles, which is substantially above the typical annual mileage for a car of this age. Although it passed its October 2023 MOT with no defects, it previously failed in late 2022 at 140,561 miles. The vehicle represents a high-mileage example that requires a rigorous mechanical inspection to justify any potential purchase price.
The 2.2 diesel engine is generally considered robust but prone to expensive DPF and injector issues if maintenance is neglected at high mileages.
