2013 Mercedes-Benz C220 AMG Sport + CDI Blue-CY A 2.1L Diesel · JIL 3663

The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-25 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 180,105 miles. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past year, as the previous two tests in September 2024—both within a week of each other—also showed no issues, despite one minor administrative failure (likely a scheduling or paperwork oversight rather than a mechanical fault). The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the last three tests suggests the vehicle has been consistently compliant with UK roadworthiness standards, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The recorded mileage of 180,105 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 13,854 miles annually, which is unusually high for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests—covering 18,559 miles in just over a year—indicates rapid usage, which may accelerate wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components. The near-identical mileages for the September 2024 tests (163,568 and 163,829) suggest either a temporary halt in use or an error in mileage logging, but the overall trend points to consistent high-mileage operation without extended periods of inactivity. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—due to the high mileage. The braking system, while not flagged in MOTs, warrants scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Exhaust emissions should also be checked, as the BlueTEC diesel system may develop minor leaks or catalytic converter issues over time. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and underbody, should be examined for corrosion, as 13 years of exposure could have weakened critical areas. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these components are sound, so visual and functional checks are essential.
