2018 Mercedes-Benz C 4.0L Petrol · CF02 ACE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 July 2025 at 52,492 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This consistency extends back through several years of testing, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained without significant mechanical or structural failures that would typically trigger DVSA advisory notices. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-intensity urban use, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a notable period of inactivity between April 2022 and May 2023, where the car covered only 3,817 miles, followed by a more significant increase in usage over the last two years. The vehicle clocked 16,560 miles between the August 2024 test and the July 2025 test. This low overall mileage generally implies that major drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking hardware remain relatively fresh compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults like binding calipers or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on items affected by age and periods of standing. A buyer should check for tyre sidewall cracking and perished rubber components, as low mileage can lead to material degradation despite adequate tread. Given the gaps in use, verifying the brake fluid condition and battery health is essential to ensure no moisture ingress occurred during stationary periods. The lack of advisories suggests a well-cared-for example that has not been subjected to mechanical neglect.
