2007 Mercedes-Benz C 3.0L Diesel · MV07 BSY

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 155,925 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from February 2023 to February 2025 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 13 February 2025 at 151,948 miles listed no defects, with the car passing the next day at 151,953 miles, indicating a clerical or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage shows typical use for a 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The odometer rose from 134,860 miles at the February 2023 test to 145,005 in February 2024, then 151,953 by February 2025, and 155,925 in February 2026, equating to roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles per year with no abrupt accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA history is sparse, showing only passes and one non-defect failure, so no consumable wear or structural issues were formally flagged across the five-year span. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the car's 19-year age and 155,925 miles. The clean MOT record does not exempt an ageing Mercedes from typical degradation of rubber mounts and exhaust emissions components that testers may not always record as advisories. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic annual test compliance, though the 2025 failure with zero listed defects suggests administrative oversight rather than neglect. Given the absence of recorded advisories, prospective owners must verify underbody structural integrity and drivetrain condition through physical examination before purchase.
