2018 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · KS18 VGL

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 31,728 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous fail on the same date with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or clerical rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in April 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly at 27,597, 22,771, and 18,699 miles respectively, showing no advisories or recurring defects across the record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 3,966 miles per year against an eight-year-old chassis, a low figure that suggests light use or extended standing periods. The gap between the 2022 test at 18,699 miles and the 2025 test at 31,728 miles shows only 13,029 miles added over three years. No rapid accumulation or sudden jumps appear in the data, and the clean sheet across all entries means the history is sparse rather than troubled. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low-use profile, as prolonged standing can accelerate perishing of rubber components and surface corrosion on calipers. The absence of any flagged exhaust emissions or structural integrity concerns in the official record is reassuring, but DVSA tests do not strip components. Verify the April 2025 duplicate entries with DVLA to confirm the fail was clerical. Check tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than wear, and confirm fluid intervals were kept despite the low mileage, since infrequent running places different stresses on the drivetrain than high-mileage use.
