2008 Mercedes-Benz C 320 3.0L Diesel · LC58 DYW

The vehicle is currently not fully roadworthy, as the most recent MOT on 15 October 2025 at 27,825 miles failed due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp (8.2.2.2 (g)), indicating a mechanical fault that must be resolved before the car can be considered safe to drive. The mileage record shows a low annual average of roughly 1,546 miles over 18 years, suggesting the car has been used lightly or stood for extended periods. Nonetheless, the data reveal irregular increments, such as the jump from 26,543 miles in October 2024 to 27,825 miles a year later, and larger spikes earlier, for example a 2,464‑mile increase between 2014 and 2015, which may point to intermittent heavy use or potential odometer inconsistencies despite an overall clean log. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and wheel alignment, given the recurring inner‑edge tyre wear noted in 2021 and 2024 and the sidewall cracking observed in 2014, which often stem from worn suspension components or mis‑aligned geometry. The recent engine MIL failure warrants a thorough check of the engine management system, sensors and possible internal wear. Additionally, the inspection should include a detailed assessment of brake calipers for binding, the condition of the exhaust and structural integrity of the wheel arches and side sills, all of which have shown signs of neglect or stress in the history.
