2007 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · CT07 NOF

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the March 2026 test at 178,294 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the most recent pass showing a clean sheet after a same-day failure on 31 March 2026 that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or emissions-retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in March 2025 at 161,159 miles and April 2024 at 147,543 miles returned the same pattern of a defect-free failure followed by a pass, indicating no worsening mechanical condition over the two-year span. Recorded mileage rose from 147,543 in April 2024 to 161,159 by March 2025, then to 178,294 by March 2026, equating to roughly 13,600 and 17,100 miles per year across those intervals. This sits above the lifetime average of 9,384 miles per year and shows accelerating use in the final twelve months. The 19-year-old Mercedes-Benz carries typical distance for its age, though the recent climb hints at heavier commuting duties that load suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain seals more than lighter running would. No advisories or defects appear in any test, so the record gives no direct flag for corrosion, worn coil springs, or binding calipers. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity beneath sills and subframes, given the age and salt-exposure risk on a 2007 chassis. Check front suspension arms and rear trailing bushes for play, and measure brake disc thickness and pad wear, as the high annual mileage will have cycled these consumables despite the clean MOT sheet. The repeated same-day fail-pass pairs with zero recorded defects imply the previous owners addressed whatever triggered the initial rejection promptly, reflecting compliant if not proactive upkeep. Absence of advisories at 178,294 miles is unusual for a vehicle of this age and should be verified physically rather than assumed, as testers vary in advisory strictness on older cars.
