2018 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LM68 AEK

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 29 August 2025 at 100,534 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous four annual inspections. This trend suggests a stable maintenance regime where the vehicle is being kept to meet minimum legal safety standards without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern indicates a significant increase in usage over the last three years. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the car covered 22,006 miles. However, since the 2022 test at 76,757 miles, the vehicle has accumulated 23,777 miles to reach the current six-figure-mile mark. This annual rate of approximately 12,500 miles is above the national average for an eight-year-old Mercedes, suggesting consistent motorway or commuter use which typically places specific wear patterns on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer must verify the condition of the control arm bushes and shock absorbers for signs of tearing, as these often degrade around the 100,000-mile threshold. Brake discs should be checked for thinning or uneven wear, and calipers inspected for binding to ensure the high-frequency use has not led to neglected maintenance despite the clean MOT record.
