Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Verify the service history to ensure the low mileage has been accompanied by regular oil and filter changes, which is critical for the longevity of the 1.8L petrol engine. Given the 2023 failure of the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint, check for invoices confirming this part was replaced with a quality component.
As the vehicle is over a decade old, check for any age-related deterioration of rubber seals and plastics. Ensure that the tyre brands and ages are consistent across all four wheels, as one was flagged for insufficient tread in 2023.
The 1.8L petrol engine will result in higher fuel costs and a higher road tax bracket compared to diesel alternatives of the same era. Insurance groups for the C-Class typically fall into a mid-range bracket, reflecting its status as an executive vehicle.
Annual maintenance for a Mercedes-Benz of this age usually includes higher costs for parts and specialised labour. Expect moderate annual expenditure to keep the vehicle in roadworthy condition.
Pay close attention to the front suspension and steering assembly. Specifically, check for any play or noise in the anti-roll bar links and ball joints, referencing the offside front failure recorded in 2023.
Inspect the tread depth and condition of all tyres to ensure they are well above the 1.6mm legal limit, as this was a previous point of failure. Finally, examine the silver paintwork for any signs of clear-coat failure or corrosion common to vehicles of this age.
This silver 2013 Mercedes-Benz C has recorded 72,253 miles as of its most recent MOT in March 2025. The vehicle's test history shows four passes and one failure, with the only failure occurring in March 2023 due to a worn anti-roll bar ball joint and a low tyre tread depth. Since that event, the vehicle has passed two subsequent tests with no defects recorded.
