2020 Mercedes-Benz C 1.9L Diesel · JA54 RUD

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-10-16 at 46,910 miles. Previous tests from 2024-10-11 (42,059 miles), 2023-10-23 (37,941 miles), and 2023-03-10 (29,208 miles) also passed without issues. The single failure on 2023-03-09 at 29,207 miles is noted but explicitly states no defects were found, suggesting a technical or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. This pattern indicates consistent maintenance and no emerging risks. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,818 miles annually. Tests are spaced approximately 12 months apart, with minor variations in mileage increments, such as the 1-mile jump between the March 2023 tests, which may reflect data entry precision. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, implying steady, predictable usage. The absence of recurring defects or advisories in the record further supports a low-risk profile for routine mechanical components. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate MOT implications. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often develop gradually. While the MOT history shows no structural rust or exhaust emissions issues, a physical check of the chassis and underbody is advisable to confirm the absence of hidden corrosion. The vehicle’s maintenance history suggests responsible ownership, but a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to validate the MOT findings.
