2018 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LP67 AFA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 17 January 2026 at 120,857 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2021, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging over 15,000 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between January 2024 and January 2025, where the odometer rose from 88,325 to 108,030 miles. Another sharp increase followed, adding 12,827 miles by the January 2026 test. This high-intensity use typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension systems. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of long-term wear items. A buyer should check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade under high mileage even if they pass a basic MOT test. Checking for any signs of oil leaks or gearbox hesitation is also advisable given the total distance covered. The absence of any recorded advisories over five years is unusual for a vehicle with 120,857 miles. While this implies a diligent owner, it means the record provides no clues regarding upcoming maintenance needs. A manual check for tyre tread depth and the service history for timing chain or fluid intervals is essential to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean testing record.
