2007 Mercedes C 2.1L Diesel · FG07 XFR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2022 at 85,767 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a period of clean results in 2020 and 2021, indicating that the mechanical and safety components have met minimum standards recently. The mileage pattern is notably low for a vehicle from 2007, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. Between March 2018 and February 2022, the car covered only 6,944 miles, suggesting very light use or extended periods of inactivity. While this reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts that age by time rather than distance driven. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyres and exhaust system during a physical inspection, as the March 2019 test at 80,974 miles flagged perishing and damage on the nearside front and rear tyres, alongside corrosion on the nearside rear exhaust silencer. Although these issues were rectified in subsequent tests, the low usage increases the likelihood of dry rot in tyres and surface rust on exposed metalwork. A thorough check of the brakes and suspension bushes is advisable to ensure that the lack of use has not resulted in seized own or perished rubber components.
