2007 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · JA02 YNE

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz C remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 132,141 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories, showing the vehicle has avoided recurring mechanical or structural faults across the last five years. Annual mileage has tracked close to the class average for a 19-year-old car. The record shows 114,279 miles on 7 September 2021, rising to 119,379 by 30 September 2022, 123,665 by 13 September 2023, 128,676 by 2 October 2024, and 132,141 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 4,500 miles per year over the logged period, below the 6,955 lifetime average, suggesting lighter recent use. No test gaps appear; the owner presented the car yearly without lapse. The clean MOT sheet gives no flagged corrosion, worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, or brake disc wear to chase. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes, as the tester may not have lifted the car fully. Check for aged rubber components and fluid condition given the low annual use, which can mask perished hoses or stale brake fluid not caught in the MOT. Given the consistent pass record and modest mileage, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic upkeep to a reasonable standard. The absence of advisories across five tests implies no neglected consumables or escalating defects, though a 19-year-old Mercedes still warrants scrutiny of rust-prone chassis points before purchase.
