2008 Mercedes-Benz C 2.2L Diesel · CF08 JFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2025 at 152,758 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car was maintained to a functional standard following a minor failure in 2024. This suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing identified issues, as the vehicle was not allowed to deteriorate between testing intervals. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 19,473 miles, representing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or excessive mileage. The interval of roughly 5,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests aligns with regular annual driving, which typically correlates with predictable wear patterns on mechanical components and rubber bushings. While the recent clean records are encouraging, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the rear suspension components. Given the age and mileage, corrosion is a common concern in the sills and subframe areas of this model. The failure in August 2024 at 147,643 miles warrants a check of the specific reason for that failure to ensure the repair was a simple consumable replacement rather than a symptom of a deeper mechanical failure or structural weakness.
