2008 Mercedes C 2.1L Diesel · LL58 ARF

The most recent MOT, conducted in January 2022 at 133,045 miles, recorded several defects. These included nearside front brake pipe corrosion, offside rear suspension component mounting corrosion, and both rear tyres worn close to the legal limit. The corrosion issues were noted as non-excessive but required attention. No other defects were recorded in earlier MOTs from 2017 to 2021, which were all passed with no issues. The pattern of defects suggests isolated wear and corrosion rather than a recurring mechanical failure. The 2022 corrosion on brake and suspension components may indicate aging, but no further issues were flagged in subsequent inspections. The tyre wear at the time was near the legal limit, which could reflect uneven tread or long-term use. However, no trends in recurring problems are evident from the MOT history. The vehicle’s mileage of 133,045 miles over 18 years equates to roughly 7,391 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear or prolonged inactivity.
