2008 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LM08 EBX

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 28 March 2026 at 128,716 miles which recorded no defects. This clean pass follows four consecutive annual tests with zero advisories, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical condition across the observed period. The owner has kept the car to a consistent test schedule with no lapses. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 98,315 miles at the 2 June 2022 test, rising to 103,911 by 31 May 2023, 111,248 by 27 April 2024, 119,182 by 29 March 2025, and 128,716 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 9,500 miles added each year with no sudden accumulation spikes or dormant gaps. The sparse but clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred rectification. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The MOT dataset contains no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions faults, yet a car of this age and mileage will carry unseen wear in steering joints, subframe mounts, and damping components that a visual test may not capture. Verify the service history matches the odometer and confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody structural integrity in person. The lack of advisories suggests prior owners addressed issues pre-test, but the absence of recorded faults is not proof of component longevity on a 128,000-mile Mercedes.
