2001 Mercedes C220 CDI Classic 2.1L Diesel · CXZ 4486

The 2001 Mercedes C220 CDI Classic presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 2 December 2023 at 174,150 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in October 2022 and September 2021 also passed cleanly. The maintenance record shows no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures across the observed period. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 25-year-old vehicle. The record shows 165,188 miles in September 2021, 168,337 miles in October 2022, and 174,150 miles in December 2023. That equates to roughly 3,150 miles between the first two tests and 5,813 miles to the latest, averaging near the expected 6,966 per year. The three-entry history is sparse but entirely clean, with no gaps suggesting prolonged disuse or sudden high accumulation. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as the MOT record shows no advisories but cannot confirm hidden rust on sills, subframes, or suspension mounts common on this age of Mercedes. Check front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition for age-related fatigue not yet flagged by testers. Verify the odometer reading against service stamps and V5C, given the low annual use may mean longer standing periods that degrade tyres, brake calipers, and fluid. The clean record implies basic upkeep was maintained, yet 174,150 miles demands scrutiny of drivetrain wear before purchase.
