2007 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · H9 RKC

This Mercedes-Benz C has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across the last four consecutive tests, most recently passing on 23 July 2025. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been kept in a stable condition over the past two years, though the most recent test occurred just over a year ago—now approaching the 12-month MOT renewal threshold. While this indicates no immediate mechanical concerns were detected, the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear, particularly in high-mileage components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain joints that may degrade without overt symptoms. The recorded mileage of 125,548 miles over nearly 19 years reflects an average annual usage of approximately 6,608 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in the MOT record to suggest prolonged neglect, nor are there abrupt mileage spikes that might indicate aggressive driving or repeated short-term ownership. However, the absence of any pre-MOT servicing details means critical intervals for fluid changes, timing belt inspections, or differential maintenance cannot be confirmed. Given the vehicle’s age, these areas should be scrutinised independently. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue in high-mileage Mercedes-Benz models. The brake system—particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as older vehicles often develop hidden corrosion or warping. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants close examination for corrosion, which can compromise the chassis. While the MOT record shows no recent faults, the vehicle’s age and mileage demand verification of less obvious wear, such as drivetrain seals or electrical connections that may not have been tested during the MOT.
