2008 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · DA07 ABA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 with no recorded defects. While a failure was noted just one day prior at 184,195 miles, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass suggest a proactive approach to maintenance. The overall service history appears remarkably stable, as the car has consistently achieved clean passes without major advisories or mechanical failures over the last three testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered roughly 44,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage rather than long periods of neglect or excessive strain. The gap of approximately 16,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows that the vehicle remains a regular driver despite its eighteen years of life. Given the high total mileage and the age of the Mercedes, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. Particular attention must be paid to the suspension geometry, specifically the front control arms, bushes, and shock artwork, which often degrade at this mileage level. Additionally, the buyer should check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT history does not always capture surface-level rust until it becomes a structural failure.
