2021 Mercedes-Benz C 200 AMG Line Edition Mhev A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LS21 KHD

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 9 March 2026 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 42,572 miles , though the preceding test on 15 March 2025 resulted in a failure—despite the vehicle passing just two days later. This anomaly suggests either a minor oversight in the first inspection or a quick resolution of an unlisted issue, but the lack of defects in the latest test indicates no persistent mechanical failures. The pattern of passing tests since 14 March 2024 shows stability, though the 2025 failure warrants scrutiny of whether the issue was cosmetic, a sensor-related advisory, or a brief mechanical hiccup. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the record, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The mileage progression reveals 8,514 miles annually over five years, a rate consistent with typical usage rather than excessive wear or prolonged neglect. The gap between 35,120 miles (failure) and 35,228 miles (pass) in early 2025 is negligible, suggesting no significant mileage accumulation between tests. The jump from 24,689 miles (March 2024) to 35,228 miles (March 2025) —a 10,539-mile increase in a year —is within reasonable bounds, though it implies the vehicle was in active use rather than stored. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern to indicate deferred maintenance or aggressive driving. Given the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , particularly rear suspension bushes and coil springs , as AMG-tuned vehicles often experience accelerated wear in these areas. The braking system —especially rear calipers and discs—should be checked for binding or uneven wear, given the 2025 failure’s proximity to brake-related advisories in similar models. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity (floor pans, subframe, and wheel arches) should also be examined for corrosion, as MHEV hybrids are prone to battery-related fluid leaks that can corrode underpanels. Finally, verify the hybrid battery health and cooling system , as these are critical but often overlooked in MHEV vehicles. The lack of MOT advisories does not preclude hidden issues, so a thorough mechanical assessment is essential.
