2005 Mercedes C 1.8L Petrol · DA55 CVD

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 23 December 2025 at 102,031 miles, where the tester passed it with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The December 2025 pass followed a same-day failure that listed no defects, a pattern repeated on 28 December 2024 at 95,370 miles, indicating administrative or documentation issues rather than worsening condition. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, rising from 82,330 miles at the 28 December 2023 test to 95,370 miles in December 2024, then to 102,031 miles by December 2025. That equates to roughly 4,859 miles per year against its 21-year life, well below typical averages. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps, though the same-day fail-pass pairs in 2024 and 2025 suggest the keeper addressed a non-mechanical compliance point quickly rather than deferring work. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the age and low annual mileage that can mask standing corrosion. The MOT data recorded no structural integrity concerns or exhaust emissions failures, but DVSA tests at this mileage may not reveal intermittent binding or worn components without advisories. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, with two clean passes and two defect-free failures resolved on the day. The absence of recurring tyre, wiper, or consumable advisories implies either careful storage or light local use, not deferred upkeep.
