2013 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · FN63 EXU

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 151,183 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual passes since October 2022. Mileage has accumulated in a typical pattern for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,600 miles per year. The record shows 107,422 miles at the October 2022 test, rising to 127,426 by October 2023, 138,123 by October 2024, and 151,183 by October 2025. The only anomaly is the failed test on 12 October 2023 at 127,263 miles, just four days before a passing retest at 127,426 miles; the failure carried no recorded defects, which suggests an administrative or unlogged minor issue rather than mechanical fault. The MOT history shows no advisories or recurring faults across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of wear components not captured by a pass, given the mileage. At 151,000 miles the drivetrain, suspension arms, and brake calipers warrant physical checks for binding or fatigue. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a basic passing standard with no deferred consumable neglect evident in the record. The clean sheet offers reasonable assurance, but the sparse defect data means in-person verification of underlying wear remains prudent before purchase.
