2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.9L Diesel · CX69 HDC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-29 at 65,349 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the immediate prior test on 2025-08-28 at the same mileage failed without recorded defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor issue resolved between tests. The trend from 2023 to 2025 shows consistent MOT passes when valid, with no recurring mechanical failures. The absence of defects in the 2024 and 2023 tests implies stable maintenance, though the 2025 failure raises questions about the reliability of the most recent assessment. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage, averaging 9,336 miles per year. A notable jump from 43,241 miles in 2023 to 55,843 miles in 2024 suggests increased usage over 12 months, which could accelerate wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The 2024 tests at 55,843 miles recorded two consecutive passes and failures, though no defects were noted, complicating interpretation. The sparse data limits insight into long-term trends, but the lack of structural or safety-related issues in valid tests supports a baseline of acceptable maintenance. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s current condition through a personal inspection, focusing on suspension components, brake systems, and exhaust emissions, as these are common areas for wear in older vehicles. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate risks, particularly given the 2025 failure. Checking for corrosion, tyre tread depth, and brake disc condition is advisable. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the recent failure warrants scrutiny to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity before purchase.
