2022 Mercedes-Benz C 300 AMG Line Prem + Mhev A 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · MNL 5

The latest MOT test conducted on 10 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from June 2025, indicating a highly stable maintenance trend. The absence of any advisories across two consecutive tests suggests that the vehicle has been kept in excellent mechanical condition and that there are no immediate concerns regarding structural integrity or safety-critical components. The recorded mileage of 15,138 miles is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 3,784 miles per year. While this low usage implies minimal wear on the engine internals, gearbox, and suspension bushes, it also suggests the car may have spent extended periods stationary. Such usage patterns often shift the mechanical risk from wear-and-tear to degradation caused by inactivity. Given the clean MOT history and low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on components that perish over time rather than through use. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades regardless of tread depth. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion and the calipers for any signs of binding, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently. During a test drive, listen for any unusual brake shudder or hesitation during low-speed manoeuvres. Furthermore, the health of the 12V battery should be verified, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from deep discharge cycles that can shorten battery life, especially in complex mild-hybrid systems. You must also verify the service history to ensure that oil and brake fluid changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals rather than solely on mileage. Ensure that all service book stamps are present, as fluid degradation can lead to internal corrosion and reduced lubrication efficiency even if the odometer remains low.
