2009 Mercedes C 2.1L Diesel · KV09 TWW

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The most recent MOT test in November 2021 at 126,873 miles passed with no recorded defects, but this record is now five years old. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle is significantly overdue for its annual inspection, and the lack of data for the intervening years makes it impossible to verify its current mechanical condition or safety status. The mileage pattern is consistent with a lower-than-average vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. However, there is a notable gap in records between November 2020 at 75,501 miles and November 2021 at 126,873 miles, during which the car covered over 50,000 miles. This surge suggests a period of intensive long-distance use, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seizing of braking hardware despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer must pay close attention to recurring braking and suspension issues identified in the past. The 2019 failure at 68,139 miles highlighted extensive corrosion across all four brake pipes and poor parking brake efficiency, while the 2021 failure at 78,778 miles identified a broken offside front Macpherson strut mounting bolt and multiple pitted brake discs. These faults indicate a history of vulnerability to fluid corrosion and structural component stress. A physical inspection should verify if the corroded lines have been replaced and if the structural integrity of the suspension mounts remains sound.
