2018 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · JO51 STU

The 2025‑05‑30 MOT at 91,309 miles passed with zero defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend; the preceding 2025‑05‑29 test, also recorded at 91,290 miles, showed no defects despite being marked as failed, and the subsequent 2025‑05‑30 result validates the vehicle’s unchanged condition. Mileage accumulation over the eight‑year lifespan averages 11,414 miles per year, a figure typical for its age. The jump from 31,364 miles in April 2023 to 56,621 miles in March 2024 represents roughly 25,000 miles in 11 months, showing consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity, and the 19‑mile difference between the May 2025 tests reflects routine testing rather than a significant interval. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or excessive play, examine brake discs for wear or scoring, and assess the exhaust system and chassis for corrosion or structural damage; tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and overall suspension geometry should also be verified during a physical examination. Overall, the vehicle presents a stable record with no documented mechanical failures, but a thorough in‑person inspection of wear items and structural integrity remains essential before final purchase.
