2020 Mercedes-Benz C 1.9L Diesel · DX20 ORY

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 24 February 2026 at 80,851 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The test on 19 February 2026 at 80,582 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, a rare administrative anomaly that the retest five days later cleared without issue. Across the prior three years the car passed cleanly with no advisories, showing no worsening mechanical condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 13,475 miles, high for a 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class now just over six years old. The records show steady accumulation: 38,457 miles in February 2023, 53,187 in February 2024, 67,821 in February 2025, and 80,851 by February 2026. The consistent 13,000 to 14,000 mile yearly increments indicate regular motorway or commuter use rather than prolonged standing, which typically limits structural corrosion but raises wear on drivetrain and suspension bushes. The DVSA data flags no recurring faults, brake binding, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity concerns across any test. A clean advisory sheet on every pass suggests previous owners kept consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and brake discs within limits. The February 2026 fail with no defects logged points to a documentation or presentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, suspension arms, and underbody corrosion given the mileage, as MOT cleanliness does not capture incipient wear. Verify the 19 February 2026 failure reason with the test centre, since the nil-defect record is unusual. Otherwise the history supports a well-maintained, high-use executive saloon with no recorded red flags.
