2018 Mercedes-Benz C 3.0L Petrol · LS68 NSE

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all four MOT tests passing without defects. The most recent assessment on 2025-02-20 at 38,020 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results from 2024-02-14 (31,105 miles), 2023-01-31 (22,140 miles), and 2021-10-25 (16,686 miles). No recurring mechanical or structural faults were recorded across this period, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, the absence of a test since February 2025 raises questions about the vehicle’s current condition, as MOTs are required annually. The mileage of 38,020 miles over eight years equates to approximately 4,752 miles per year, significantly below the UK average. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. Notably, the gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests spanned 28 months, exceeding the standard MOT interval. While no defects were flagged, such extended periods without inspection might mask gradual wear or corrosion, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress. A buyer should prioritise a hands-on inspection of the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which can degrade without regular use. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as low mileage can lead to seized mechanisms. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed, so examining the underbody for rust or damage is critical. The clean MOT history suggests no immediate risks, but the lack of recent testing necessitates caution, as hidden issues may have developed since the last assessment.
