1999 Mercedes-Benz C 2.5L Diesel · D9 YEL

The vehicle currently holds no valid roadworthiness status. The sole DVSA entry on record is a failed test dated 13 September 2021 at 148,850 miles, with no defects listed by the tester. This single failed result, now roughly four years and ten months old, gives no basis to claim a stable, worsening, or improving maintenance trend; the history is too sparse to chart any pattern of care. The recorded odometer reading of 148,850 miles against a 1999 build date implies an average of about 5,513 miles per year, which is low for a 27-year-old car. The same 148,850 miles appear as the only logged figure, so no accumulation or gap can be measured between tests. A lone 2021 entry with no subsequent MOT means the car has likely stood unused or been off the road since, raising the prospect of prolonged static deterioration. A buyer must treat this Mercedes-Benz C as unverified until a fresh physical inspection occurs. The 2021 failure with no stated defects suggests the tester logged a administrative or unrecorded fault; confirm the reason at point of sale. Given the low mileage and long dormancy since the last test, examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for seizure or corrosion from standing. Check structural integrity under arches and sills for rust, and assess brake discs for pitting after idle storage. The absent recent history means tyres, exhaust emissions, and drivetrain wear are unknown and require a current tester's verdict before any road use.
