2021 Mercedes-Benz C 220 AMG Line Edition D Auto 1.9L Diesel · OO08 CDC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 with 73,042 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent improvement following a significant failure in early 2025. While the latest test result is clean, the previous history indicates a period where essential wear items were neglected, though these were subsequently addressed to bring the car back to passing standard. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,600 miles per year. There was a notable surge in activity between January 2024 (45,824 miles) and February 2025 (62,266 miles), where the car covered over 16,000 miles in thirteen months. This suggests consistent motorway or heavy commuting use which typically places higher stress on drivetrain components and suspension arm bushings. The recent accumulation of nearly 11,000 miles since the last test confirms the vehicle remains in active high-frequency use. The February 2025 failure at 61,152 miles highlights a lapse in basic preventative maintenance regarding tyres and brakes. The tester flagged a nearside rear tyre below the legal limit and an offside rear tyre showing edge wear, alongside thin rear brake pads. While these were rectified before the February 2026 test, a buyer should inspect the current tyres for continued uneven wear, as the previous edge wear often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension components. Given the high mileage and recurring brake alerts, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the rear brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding. The buyer should also check for signs of oil or fluid leaks common with high-mileage diesel engines. Although the record shows no structural corrosion or emissions failures, the high frequency of use suggests that the vehicle will require more frequent consumable replacements sooner than a lower-mileage example.
