2018 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FX18 LLT

This Mercedes-Benz C has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record over its MOT history, with every test since 2021 passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 30 August 2025—just over a year ago—confirmed the vehicle met all current DVSA standards at 69,639 miles, indicating no immediate mechanical or structural concerns at that point. The absence of recurring faults or advisories across five consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline level, though the lack of any warnings also means there is no documented evidence of proactive servicing beyond statutory MOT requirements. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 8,700 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in the record; the most significant interval between tests was between April 2022 (48,797 miles) and September 2023 (57,711 miles), a span of just over 17 months, which aligns with the standard MOT cycle. This consistency implies the vehicle has not been subjected to prolonged periods of neglect or rapid wear, though it also means there is no historical data to confirm whether routine servicing—such as fluid changes, suspension servicing, or brake system overhauls—has been performed beyond what is legally required. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested under MOT regulations. The suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and dampers, warrants close examination, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage, as these elements are prone to gradual degradation that may not always manifest as a fail. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven in mixed conditions. Additionally, the condition of the exhaust system—both for leaks and structural integrity—should be verified, as corrosion or damage can develop silently. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be inspected for signs of corrosion, particularly around the subframe and wheel bearings, as these areas are critical for structural integrity and are not always visible during a standard MOT.
