2013 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LP62 HWY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-20 at 98,294 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, a prior failure on 2026-02-19 at the same mileage suggests a potential administrative error or procedural issue, as no defects were logged for either test. The 2025-02-17 MOT at 94,106 miles also passed with no defects, while the 2024-02-19 tests—both at 90,721 miles—showed a pass and a failure without recorded issues. This pattern implies inconsistent testing outcomes without clear mechanical concerns, though the lack of defect details limits definitive analysis. The vehicle’s mileage of 98,294 miles over 13 years aligns with an average of 7,561 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. The 2024-02-19 test at 90,721 miles showed a failure, but subsequent tests in 2025 and 2026 passed, suggesting potential corrective action. However, the absence of defect records for these tests prevents confirmation of resolved issues. The short interval between the 2026-02-19 failure and the 2026-02-20 pass raises questions about the testing process, though no mechanical faults are documented. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or wear, as these are common failure points. Structural corrosion, especially in body seams and underbody panels, should also be checked, as it can develop over time without MOT reporting. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, and a pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
