2013 Mercedes-Benz C220 Executive SE CDI Bluecy A 2.1L Heavy oil · LR63 VRM

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 12 September 2025 with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend is stable, with a history that suggests the vehicle has been consistently maintained to a roadworthy standard. Although failures were recorded in 2022 and 2025, the absence of specific defect descriptions on those dates often implies minor faults that were rectified quickly. The lack of structural corrosion or major mechanical failures over the recorded period is a positive indicator of the vehicle's general condition. The recorded mileage of 119,164 miles is consistent with the vehicle's thirteen-year age, averaging roughly 9,166 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile, suggesting the car has not been subject to the extreme wear of a high-mileage commuter nor the stagnation issues associated with very low usage. At this stage of its life, the mechanical focus shifts from routine consumables to the wear of long-term components, including suspension bushings and drivetrain mounts, which naturally degrade around this mileage threshold. Attention should be paid to the front suspension, as the MOT history previously noted deteriorated dust covers on the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. While these may have been replaced, the buyer should listen for clunking or knocking sounds during low-speed maneuvers or when driving over speed bumps, which would indicate worn joints. Furthermore, the 2019 advisories regarding tyre perishing and worn edges suggest a need to carefully inspect the current tyre sidewalls for cracking and verify that the tread wear is even across the width, as uneven wear can point to lingering wheel alignment issues. Beyond the MOT records, a physical inspection should prioritize age-related degradation. Verify the service history for evidence of timely transmission fluid changes and engine oil services to ensure internal component longevity. Inspect the brake discs for significant corrosion or lip formation and check for binding calipers that could affect braking efficiency. Finally, assess the condition of the 12V battery and check for any fluid leaks or oil seepage around the engine gaskets, as these are typical maintenance requirements for a Mercedes-Benz of this vintage and mileage.
