2007 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · FL57 ABX

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a remarkably clean and stable MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 3 December 2025 at 148,610 miles resulted in no defects recorded, continuing a trend of clean passes across the last five years. This lack of advisories or failures suggests the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to repairs, addressing potential issues before they could escalate into test failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a nineteen-year-old luxury saloon, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 135,111 miles and December 2025 at 148,610 miles, the car covered 13,499 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage rate. The frequency of testing in 2024, with entries in both February and December, shows the owner was monitoring the vehicle more frequently than the annual legal requirement, which often reduces the likelihood of undetected mechanical degradation or corrosion buildup during long periods of inactivity. Despite the pristine digital record, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on the inherent wear points of this generation of Mercedes-Benz. Given the age and mileage, the rubber-based suspension components and control arm bushes should be checked for cracking or tearing, as these do not always trigger an MOT failure until they are significantly compromised. The structural integrity of the subframes and rear mounting points also requires scrutiny for surface or deep corrosion, as these areas are prone to oxidation over time regardless of mechanical maintenance.
