Our Verdict
Caution is advised – the car shows a mix
Check the service records for any work carried out on the exhaust system and brakes, as these items have appeared in multiple MOTs (2023‑2025). Verify whether the minor exhaust leak (6.1.2 (a)) and noisy exhaust (8.1.1 (a)) have been remedied, and ask for receipts for any replacement or repair. When negotiating price, factor in the likely cost of new rear tyres and possible brake service, especially given the rear tyre wear noted in three consecutive years and the brake binding issue recorded in the 2024 failure.
Given the vehicle's 6.2‑litre V8 petrol engine, fuel consumption will be relatively high; ensure the buyer is comfortable with the running costs. It is also worth confirming the car's MOT expiry date and arranging an independent pre‑purchase inspection to assess the condition of the suspension, handbrake, and any hidden corrosion that may not be captured in the MOT data.
The 6.2 L V8 petrol engine typically achieves around 20‑25 mpg (7‑8 L/100 km), leading to annual fuel expenses of roughly £1,500‑£1,800 based on average UK mileage. Road tax for a 2013 Mercedes‑C with a large engine is likely in the higher band (currently £210‑£570 per year). Insurance groups for this model are generally in the 30‑35 range, translating to an annual premium of about £800‑£1,200 depending on driver profile.
Maintenance on a premium German vehicle can be higher than average; typical annual servicing, brake pad/rotor replacement and tyre renewal may add another £400‑£600. Combining fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance, an estimated annual running cost sits around £2,200‑£2,800.
Focus on the exhaust system: the MOT records show a recurring minor leak (6.1.2 (a)) and persistent noisy exhaust (8.1.1 (a)) from 2023 to 2025. Look for cracked manifolds, loose clamps or deteriorated gaskets that could cause emissions failures or increased noise.
Inspect the rear tyres closely; they have been flagged as thin or near the legal limit in three consecutive MOTs (2024‑2025). Measure tread depth and check for uneven wear that might indicate alignment or suspension issues. Also examine the handbrake and rear brake assembly, as a low handbrake reading and excessive binding were recorded in the 2024 failure (1.2.1 (f)). Test the handbrake for firmness and ensure the rear discs are not excessively worn.
Finally, review the brake discs and pads. The 2023 MOT noted pitted or scored discs on all four wheels (1.1.14 (a) (ii)). Confirm that the discs have been resurfaced or replaced and that pads have sufficient thickness. Any lingering brake noise or vibration should be investigated further.
This 2013 Mercedes‑Benz C‑Class has logged 73,892 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage of about 7,600 miles per year. The MOT history includes one failure and several recurring advisories for exhaust noise, minor leaks, tyre wear and brake binding. While the most recent test in July 2026 passed with no defects, earlier reports highlight components that may require attention. Overall, the vehicle offers a premium badge but carries moderate risk due to the documented faults.
The Mercedes‑C model has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 82.4%, indicating a moderate reliability record across the large sample of over 416,000 vehicles.
