2019 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · KM69 ACX

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, as the last recorded test took place on 31 August 2022. While that specific test resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, the car has been without a legal roadworthiness certification for nearly four years. This gap makes it impossible to determine the current mechanical state or identify any deterioration that has occurred since 2022. The recorded mileage of 27,354 miles is exceptionally low for a seven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,908 miles per year. However, the data shows the odometer remained at 27,354 miles during the August 2022 test and remains at that same figure today. This indicates the vehicle has likely been stationary for several years, which introduces specific risks associated with long term storage. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. Long periods of inactivity often lead to binding calipers, seized brake discs, and flat spots or perishing of the tyre sidewalls. The lack of recent movement can also cause seals to dry out and fluids to degrade, potentially affecting the engine and gearbox. Particular attention should be paid to the battery health and the integrity of the suspension bushes. Rubber components often crack or harden when not regularly flexed. Given the four year gap in testing, a full mechanical health check is required to ensure the vehicle is safe to return to the road.
