2004 Mercedes-Benz C 2.7L Diesel · GP04 SFE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 18 October 2022 at 94,032 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests in 2020 and 2021 also closed with clean sheets. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the supplied record, so the documented history shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2004 registered car. The test on 4 October 2021 captured 75,349 miles, rising to 94,032 by October 2022, an annual gain near 18,700 miles that year against a lifetime average of roughly 4,274. Two failed tests on 25 June 2020 at 67,967 and 68,003 miles, followed by a pass the next day at 68,010, suggest a quick rectification or administrative re-test rather than a neglected repair, though the DVSA entry lists no defects against those failures. Given the sparse and clean history, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related items not always caught in a pass. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion warrant close checking on a 22 year old Mercedes-Benz, as does the condition of brake discs and calipers after the car's low prior use. The 2020 same-day fail-and-pass sequence implies the previous keeper addressed whatever halted the test promptly. Verify the car has not stood unused since the October 2022 test, as over two years without a recorded MOT raises the risk of perished rubber, flat-spotted tyres, and seized handbrake mechanisms.
