2013 Mercedes-Benz C 3.0L Diesel · LC13 TKF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. While the most recent test on 15 July 2025 at 74,621 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, the failure exactly one day prior at the same mileage suggests a minor, presentation-related issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The lack of recorded advisories across the 2022 to 2025 period indicates the vehicle has maintained a high standard of operational readiness. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,740 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 47,839 miles and July 2024 at 65,126 miles, the car covered 17,287 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of roughly 8,600 miles a year during. This low-frequency use suggests that wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components is likely significantly lower than on high-mileage counterparts. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components and fluid acidity due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than just distance. Check the suspension bushes and control arm mounts for cracking or perishing, as these degrade over time regardless of miles driven. Given the clean MOT history, inspect the brake discs for any surface pitting or corrosion which can occur if the car sits stationary for long periods. The structural integrity of the chassis suggests the vehicle has been well maintained, but a check of the underbody for corrosion remains standard practice for a Mercedes of this era.
