2009 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LT59 LFH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 January 2026 at 132,366 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just four days prior. This suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing immediate compliance issues to ensure the vehicle passes inspection. The lack of advisories across the last three passing tests indicates that the vehicle is not currently suffering from escalating mechanical degradation or structural corrosion. The mileage pattern reflects a consistent and relatively low rate of use, having covered 132,366 miles over 17 years. This equates to an average of approximately 7,786 miles per year, which aligns well with typical UK usage for a car of this age. The data shows steady progression, with 2,460 miles recorded between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 2,055 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026. This regularity reduces the risks associated with long periods of stationary which often lead to dry seals and seized components. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as the MOT record does not detail sub-surface rust or worn bushes. While the history is clean, the age of the vehicle means that rubber elements and bushings may be nearing perished. The recent failures in 2025 and 2026 likely involved minor items such as bulbs or minor adjustments given the immediate passes that followed, but a check of brake pipe condition and engine fluid leaks remains necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying mechanical wear.
