2021 Mercedes-Benz C 220 AMG Line NGT ED Prem D A 1.9L Diesel · LP21 XXE

The Mercedes-Benz C 220 AMG Line NGT ED PREM D has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with no recurring defects or advisories recorded in its most recent MOT tests. The February 2026 tests—both a pass and a fail at 24,732 and 24,739 miles—show no mechanical issues, suggesting the vehicle remains in sound condition for its age and mileage. The absence of defects in both the 2024 and 2026 tests indicates consistent compliance with DVSA standards, though the back-to-back pass/fail at nearly identical mileages is unusual and may warrant clarification from the seller regarding the fail reason, even if no defects were logged. The vehicle’s mileage of 24,739 miles over five years—roughly 4,948 miles annually—is exceptionally low for its age, falling well below average usage patterns. This suggests either infrequent driving, long periods of inactivity, or potential odometer discrepancies. The August 2024 tests at 19,472 miles, followed by the February 2026 tests at 24,739 miles, imply a roughly 5,267-mile gap over six months, which is unusually rapid for such low cumulative mileage. Without further context, this could indicate a sudden increase in use or an error in mileage recording. Buyers should verify the vehicle’s service history and driving patterns to ensure the low mileage aligns with genuine usage. Given the clean MOT history, no structural or mechanical concerns have been flagged by the tester. However, a prospective buyer should still inspect key areas in person, particularly the suspension components—such as coil springs, dampers, and bushings—for signs of wear or corrosion, despite the lack of recorded advisories. The braking system, including calipers, discs, and pads, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, even though no defects have been logged. The vehicle’s low mileage and infrequent testing make it difficult to assess long-term wear on consumables like tyres or wiper blades, so these should be examined closely for premature degradation. Additionally, the absence of any recorded advisories on exhaust emissions or structural integrity is positive, but a thorough inspection of underbody corrosion and chassis mounting points remains prudent given the vehicle’s age.
