2009 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · F23 KAB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-08 at 137,694 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Subsequent tests from 2024-2023 also showed passes, with the only anomaly being a failed test on 2023-10-14 at 137,133 miles, which inexplicably listed no defects. This suggests either a data entry error or a minor issue resolved before the next test. The absence of recurring mechanical failures in the last four years implies consistent upkeep, though the 2023-10-14 failure warrants scrutiny for potential unresolved concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 137,694 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 8,100 annual miles, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOT tests are spaced consistently, with minimal gaps between 2022 and 2025, indicating regular compliance. The mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity periods that might suggest neglect. However, the lack of detailed defect records limits insight into specific component wear, particularly in older systems like the exhaust or suspension. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over 17 years. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity is likely sound, as no rust or body damage was noted in the MOTs, but a thorough underbody inspection is recommended. The absence of tyre-related issues in the record suggests responsible tyre management, though tread depth should still be verified. Overall, the MOT history reflects a well-maintained vehicle, but physical checks are essential to confirm the absence of hidden faults.
