2008 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · C14 CAO

The MOT history for this 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class shows a stable trend of passing tests without recorded defects over the last four years. The most recent test on 3 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no advisories or failures noted. This follows consecutive passes in November 2024 and November 2023, as well as an August 2022 test. The vehicle's recorded mileage of 59,968 miles is low for an 18-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,332 miles per year. The MOT records do not provide specific mileage increments for each individual year to confirm consistent usage, but the current total suggests infrequent road use. While low mileage often implies less wear on mechanical components, it can also indicate periods where the vehicle has remained stationary. A physical inspection should focus on components that can degrade due to age and inactivity rather than high mileage. A buyer should check for signs of perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls, which often crack when a vehicle is driven sparingly. Inspect the braking system for seized calipers or corroded brake discs, as these are common issues on vehicles that sit for extended periods. The absence of recorded structural corrosion or exhaust emissions issues in the recent MOT history is a positive technical observation. However, since the records show no defects, they do not provide evidence of the current state of the drivetrain or fluid degradation. A thorough check of the underside for surface rust and a review of the service history to confirm oil change intervals is recommended. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.
