2013 Mercedes-Benz C220 AMG Sport CDI Blueeff-CY 2.1L Heavy oil · FH13 OMD

The vehicle presents a stable and unblemished mechanical record, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 April 2024 at 71,841 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean pass indicates the car met all roadworthiness standards at that time, with no advisories or failures to suggest immediate mechanical compromise. The maintenance trend remains stable, showing no recurring faults or escalating issues across the documented history. The mileage profile tells a distinct story of very low usage that has recently flatlined. Between the December 2021 test at 57,550 miles and the January 2023 test at 63,477 miles, the car covered just 5,927 miles over thirteen months. Mileage accumulation then increased slightly to 8,364 miles over the following fifteen months, reaching 71,841 miles by April 2024. The recorded mileage has not increased since that April 2024 test, meaning the vehicle has stood stationary for over two years. Prolonged inactivity often causes deterioration in consumables like brake discs, tyres, and suspension bushes, even if the mileage remains static. Given the extended period of inactivity, a physical inspection must focus on components degraded by standing rather than use. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and binding calipers, as stationary vehicles frequently suffer from seized handbrakes and uneven pad deposits. Inspect the tyres for flat-spotting and sidewall cracking, as rubber perishes with age and lack of rotation regardless of tread depth. Suspension bushes and coil springs may have deteriorated from sitting in a loaded state, so test for cracking or sagging. Verify the exhaust system for internal condensation corrosion and assess the diesel injectors and fuel system for potential lacquering from old fuel sitting in the lines.
