2018 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · CV68 XKW

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the August 2025 pass at 41,499 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA entries show no defects, advisories, or recorded faults at any stage, and the most recent test cleared the car cleanly. A prior fail on 21 August 2025 at identical mileage was logged with no defects cited, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component issue. The odometer sat at 34,512 miles for the March 2024 fail and 34,604 miles at the pass six days later, then rose to 39,552 miles by May 2025 and 41,499 miles by August 2025. This equates to roughly 5,187 miles per year against an eight-year-old chassis, confirming light use. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals, though the twin August 2025 entries at the same mileage warrant a check of the V5C to confirm no clerical duplication. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low standing time, which can permit corrosion or seized calipers unseen in a defect-free MOT. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from age-related perishables such as tyre sidewall cracking or wiper degradation. Verify the March 2024 and August 2025 fail reasons via the full DVSA certificate, as the zero-defect flags leave the rejection cause unstated in this summary.
