2008 Mercedes C 6.2L Petrol · CH08 AMG

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record of passes across five consecutive tests. The most recent MOT on 10 October 2022 at 111,562 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This lack of flagged issues suggests the car was in a roadworthy condition at the time of its last official inspection. The mileage pattern is atypical for an 18 year old vehicle. Between 1 June 2017 at 108,800 miles and 10 October 2022 at 111,562 miles, the car covered only 2,762 miles over five years. This extremely low usage rate indicates the vehicle spent significant periods stationary. While the overall average of 6,198 miles per year seems normal, the recent stagnation suggests a shift in how the car was utilised. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of components prone to degradation during long periods of inactivity. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls can perish or crack even without high mileage. The braking system requires close scrutiny for binding calipers or pitted brake discs caused by moisture and lack of use. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural failures in the MOT history is positive, but the gap since the last test in October 2022 is a primary concern. With nearly four years passing since the last official check, the current roadworthiness is unverified. A fresh inspection is essential to identify any new leaks, battery failure, or seized components resulting from prolonged standing.
