2007 Mercedes-Benz C 2.5L Petrol · KV57 LOA

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 17 November 2023 at 178,207 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The owner secured this pass only ten days after a failure on 7 November 2023 at 178,205 miles, though the failure listed no specific defects, implying an administrative or unrecorded minor correction. Prior to that, the 28 October 2022 test at 177,980 miles passed cleanly following a defect-free failure on 27 October 2022 at 172,970 miles. The pattern shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available record. At roughly 19 years old, the Mercedes-Benz C shows 178,207 miles, equating to about 9,379 miles per year, which is typical for the age. Mileage advanced from 168,543 at the October 2021 test to 172,970 by October 2022, then jumped to 177,980 by late October 2022 and 178,207 by November 2023. The sparse five-entry history with clean advisories gives little insight into consumable wear, though the two rapid re-tests in 2022 and 2023 suggest the keeper addressed compliance promptly rather than deferring work. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion, as the MOT record omits advisories that commonly appear on a 2007 chassis at this mileage. The repeated defect-free failures with immediate passes indicate the tester may not have logged minor wear, so binding calipers or exhaust emissions cannot be ruled out from the document alone. Given the 19-year gap since manufacture and 178k miles on original drivetrain components, verify structural integrity at the sills and rear axle. The clean record offers reassurance on paper, but absence of advisories is not proof of condition.
