Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the high tot
Given the mileage is over 176,000, you should request a detailed service history to verify that major components have been replaced as per the manufacturer's intervals. Pay close attention to the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and timing chain records, as these are critical areas for high-mileage diesel engines of this era.
Verify that the SRS (airbag) fault that caused the 2024 MOT failure was professionally repaired rather than simply cleared. Use the high mileage as a primary point of negotiation, as the vehicle is now in a phase where more expensive component failures become more probable.
The 2143cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, but fuel economy will vary based on the vehicle's current mechanical state. Road tax and insurance will be based on the 2013 registration year and the specific insurance group for this engine variant.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for a car of this age. With 176,034 miles on the clock, you should budget for the replacement of suspension bushings, brake discs, and potentially other wear-and-tear items that frequently fail at this mileage.
Inspect the suspension and steering components closely, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages, following the 2024 failure of a ball joint dust cover. Check all four tyres for even tread wear to ensure that the issues noted in February 2024 were fully resolved and that there are no underlying alignment problems.
Ensure the dashboard is completely clear of warning lights upon startup, with a specific focus on the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) lamp. Check for any signs of leaks around the engine bay, which can become more common in diesel engines with high mileage.
This white 2013 Mercedes-Benz C-Class diesel has recorded 176,034 miles as of January 2026. Its MOT history shows a generally consistent record, including a failure in February 2024 for tyre wear, a suspension dust cover, and an SRS warning lamp. However, the two most recent tests in 2025 and 2026 were passed with no defects recorded.
Aggregate data is unavailable for this model, but this specific vehicle has maintained a relatively stable MOT record despite its high mileage.
