2013 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · HR05 JOT

The most recent MOT on 14 March 2026 recorded a pass at 154,500 miles, indicating the vehicle is presently road‑worthy. Across the five annual tests the outcome has remained consistently positive, showing a stable maintenance trend with no recorded deterioration. Mileage has risen from 121,027 miles on 28 January 2023 to 154,500 miles on 14 March 2026, an average increase of roughly 11,000 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical usage for a thirteen‑year‑old Mercedes‑Benz C‑Class and reveals no abrupt spikes or unexplained gaps in the record. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a buyer should still examine wear items that naturally progress with age. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for looseness or cracking, verify brake discs and pads for thickness and even wear, and confirm tyre tread depth meets legal limits. A visual check for surface rust, especially around wheel arches and undercarriage, will reveal any emerging structural concerns. Finally, ensure the exhaust system is free of leaks and that the emissions control devices operate correctly. Confirm that the duplicate 2026 entry (pass and fail with no defects) is merely an administrative anomaly and that the vehicle’s paperwork matches the MOT certificate before finalising purchase.
