2009 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · LM59 HVB

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 90,292 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available annual tests from November 2021 through October 2025, the vehicle passed every time with no advisories or reported faults. This clean sequence indicates consistent statutory compliance and no escalating mechanical concerns. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 17-year-old vehicle. The test on 12 November 2021 captured 77,289 miles, rising to 80,120 by 10 November 2022, 83,269 by 3 November 2023, 86,437 by 11 November 2024, and 90,292 by the October 2025 test. Annual accumulation sat between roughly 3,000 and 4,000 miles, averaging about 5,300 miles per year overall. The DVSA history is sparse on faults but shows no gaps exceeding thirteen months between tests, suggesting the previous keeper maintained regular testing discipline. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low annual use, as prolonged standing can accelerate perishing of rubber components and surface corrosion unseen by MOT testers. The absence of any advisories across the record implies no recurring wear trends, yet the 2025 test predates the current date by under nine months, leaving the vehicle within valid test currency. Given the unbroken pass record and low mileage, previous ownership appears to have prioritised basic upkeep and timely testing. No structural integrity issues, exhaust emission failures, or binding calipers appear in the data. Physical checks of underbody corrosion and tyre sidewall condition remain prudent before purchase.
