2018 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · N13 KAO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history in its most recent inspections. The June 2025 test at 83,335 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the vehicle was in a roadworthy condition at the time of the last inspection. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests since 2022, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies basic regulatory requirements. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age and typical usage patterns. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the car covered 47,322 miles, averaging approximately 15,774 miles per year. This represents a steady increase in usage compared to the earlier period between 2022 and 2023. The record shows a single failure in June 2023 at 51,612 miles, but the subsequent pass on the same day suggests the issue was rectified immediately. The lack of significant mileage gaps indicates regular road use rather than long periods of standing. While the MOT history is clean, the increase in annual mileage warrants a closer physical inspection of wear-and-tear components. A buyer should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often show signs of fatigue once a vehicle exceeds 80,000 miles. The brake system should be checked for uneven disc wear or binding calipers, although no issues were flagged in the recent DVSA records. Given the consistent mileage, the drivetrain and various rubber components such as drive belts and wiper blades should be examined for age-related degradation. The absence of structural corrosion or emissions advisories in the recent history is a positive indicator of the vehicle's overall condition. A thorough check of the service history is advised to complement these MOT findings and confirm that scheduled maintenance has kept pace with the mileage.
