2018 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · DB09 DAV

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 44,826 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows three consecutive clean passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The lone failure occurred on 30 May 2023 at 31,798 miles yet was reversed the very next day with a pass and no defects logged, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits low for an eight-year-old 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The record shows 31,798 miles at the May 2023 test, rising to 37,874 miles by May 2024, then 40,649 miles in December 2024 and 44,826 miles by December 2025. That averages roughly 5,600 miles per year. The gap between the May 2024 and December 2024 tests covers only 2,775 miles in seven months, while the longer 2023-to-2024 span added 6,076 miles; the data is sparse but consistently clean, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low annual use and the 2023 one-day fail-then-pass pattern suggest the car may have stood idle for extended periods, which can degrade brake calipers, flat-spot tyres, and encourage underbody corrosion unseen in a pass-only history. Check the brake discs and calipers for binding or surface rust, examine suspension arms and coil springs for perished bushes, and confirm exhaust emissions and structural integrity underneath. The absence of advisories means no recurring wear trend exists, but a standalone pre-purchase inspection remains prudent given the light-use profile.
