2018 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KU18 TNJ

The Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 15 July 2025 at 118,245 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the test history reveals two administrative failures on consecutive days in both 2024 and 2025 where the tester logged no defects. These non-mechanical failures suggest clerical or documentation issues at the testing station rather than worsening vehicle condition, and the car cleared each time without recorded advisories. At roughly eight years old the car shows 118,245 miles, an average of about 14,781 miles per year, which is high for a 2018 executive saloon. The largest annual jump came between the August 2023 pass at 91,288 miles and the August 2024 test at 116,861 miles, adding 25,573 miles in twelve months. The final 1,384 miles then accrued over the following eleven months to July 2025, indicating the usage slowed considerably in the last year. The DVSA record is sparse, with no advisories or faults ever logged across the five entries, so the data gives little insight into wear on consumables or mechanical components. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the elevated annual mileage and the heavy 25,000-mile period in 2023 to 2024. The clean MOT record does not confirm these parts are sound, only that the tester raised no advisories. The repeated zero-defect failures mean the car was presented twice in a short window each year, so verify the V5C and test certificates match the quoted mileages. Given the high overall mileage for age and the absence of any recorded corrosion or emissions concerns, the vehicle appears structurally intact per the official data. Prior owners kept the car tested annually with no flagged mechanical risks, though the rapid mid-life mileage implies drivetrain and chassis components have seen harder use than the MOT advisories would reveal.
