Our Verdict
A highly recommended example of a low-mileage Mercedes-Benz C-Class. With an exceptionally clean MOT history and very low mileage for its age, this vehicle represents a premium, well-maintained option.
Given the exceptionally low mileage of 20,199 miles, your primary focus should be on ensuring the vehicle has a full service history. Even with low usage, Mercedes-Benz engines require regular oil changes to maintain longevity. Check that the service intervals have been strictly adhered to, as 'low mileage' does not exempt a car from the need for annual maintenance.
When negotiating, check the age and condition of the tyres. The 2024 MOT noted that both rear tyres were close to the legal limit, so verify if these have since been replaced with premium rubber. Additionally, inspect the interior for any signs of wear; while the mileage is low, ensure the leather and electronics have been well-preserved in this black trim configuration.
The 1497cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a moderate insurance group and a reasonable tax band. Expect decent fuel economy for a premium saloon, making it suitable for both motorway cruising and urban driving.
Maintenance costs for a Mercedes-Benz tend to be higher than for mass-market brands, particularly for specialist parts and labour. However, due to the low mileage, you are unlikely to face heavy component replacement costs in the immediate future. An estimated annual running cost of £1,200-£1,500 should cover fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
The MOT history is very strong, but you should specifically look at the rear tyres, as the 2024 inspection flagged wear on both the nearside and offside rear tyres. Ensure they are currently within their legal depth and show even wear patterns.
Beyond the MOT data, inspect the electronic systems and infotainment, which are central to the C-Class experience. Since this is a petrol model, listen for any unusual engine noise during a cold start to ensure the turbocharger and fuel system are operating smoothly. Finally, check the brake pads and discs, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from surface corrosion if not driven regularly.
This 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class petrol is in excellent condition, having covered just over 20,000 miles in roughly eight years. The MOT history is remarkably clean, with only one minor advisory regarding tyre wear in 2024 and no major mechanical failures recorded. It offers a premium driving experience with a relatively modern 1.5L petrol engine that balances performance with efficiency.
While aggregate data is unavailable for this specific model, the C-Class generally maintains a reputation for high build quality and mechanical robustness.
