2018 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · DC18 AEW

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 February 2026 at 104,375 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior passing test on 3 March 2025 at 88,298 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 3 March 2025 at 88,296 miles, but the record lists no defects and the same-day pass at 88,298 miles indicates a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year span from April 2023 to February 2026, the car cleared every examination without advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Mileage sat at 53,233 on 6 April 2023, rose to 69,969 by 2 April 2024, then jumped to 88,296 by 3 March 2025 and reached 104,375 by 28 February 2026. That equates to roughly 16,000 to 19,000 miles per year across the last three intervals, above the 13,047 annual average for the car's life and confirming sustained high-use motoring for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and zero advisories, so the clean record reflects absence of recorded faults rather than proof of component condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the front suspension struts, rear coil springs, and brake calipers given the accumulated 104,375 miles and eight years of service. The lack of advisories means no binding calipers or structural integrity concerns were flagged, yet high annual mileage accelerates wear on consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and dampers not always caught in a pass. Verify the service history covers gearbox and differential oil changes, as the drivetrain has absorbed notably more load than a lower-mileage equivalent.
