2019 Mercedes-Benz C 4.0L Petrol · JAM 63E

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 12 July 2025 at 26,381 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding pass on 5 April 2024 at 19,940 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a fail on 9 February 2024 at 18,975 miles, though the DVSA entry records no defects against that failure, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The trend across the available history is resolving and consistent, with no recurring advisories or worsening conditions. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a 2019 car. The record shows 8,832 miles at the August 2022 test, rising to 10,338 by February 2023, then a steep jump to 18,975 by February 2024. That near-8,600-mile year implies a period of heavier use, before the climb to 19,940 in April 2024 and 26,381 by July 2025. The overall average of roughly 3,769 miles per year points to extended standing or short urban trips, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT slate. Low-use Mercedes-Benz C-Class models of this era commonly suffer degraded suspension bushes and front coil spring fractures from inactivity. The tester logged no brake disc scoring or binding calipers, but standing vehicles often accumulate surface corrosion on brake faces and exhaust hangers that a short test may miss. Check structural integrity at the subframe and sill mounts for rust, and confirm the tyres have not aged-cracked given the low annual distances. The February 2024 fail with zero defects warrants a request for the original test centre paperwork to rule out a clerical error. Absent that anomaly, the maintenance pattern implies a careful keeper who addressed issues promptly.
