2020 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · NK02 ARA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, having passed the test on 2025‑08‑06 at 38,212 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on 2024‑08‑02 when the offside front tyre showed ply or cords exposure and the offside rear tyre tread was below the 1.6 mm limit. The car was retested the same day and passed, indicating that the identified tyre issues were promptly corrected. The absence of any new advisories in the most recent test suggests the maintenance trend is now stable and improving. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a six‑year‑old model, averaging roughly 6,369 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test (23,936 miles) and the August 2024 test (29,508 miles) the odometer advanced 5,572 miles over about ten months. The period from August 2024 to August 2025 added 8,704 miles, still within a normal range for annual mileage. The MOT entries are spaced approximately eleven months apart, and the latest test is only about eleven months old as of 2026‑07‑29, so the record remains relatively current. A buyer should inspect the tyres for ply exposure and ensure the rear offside tread meets the 1.6 mm minimum, as previous failures highlight this vulnerability. The rear inner brake pads were noted as wearing thin in 2023; checking pad thickness and listening for any caliper binding is advisable. The wiper blade defect from that test warrants a functional check of the front windscreen blades. Additionally, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive wear, look for any signs of corrosion on the chassis or exhaust, and verify that the brake discs and related hardware show no abnormal scoring or rust. Confirming that all past advisories have been fully addressed will give the most reliable indication of the car’s mechanical condition.
