2009 Mercedes C 2.1L Diesel · OO 5810

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 16 May 2025 at 127,880 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows a clean result from May 2024 at 121,789 miles, indicating that the primary mechanical and safety components have met DVSA standards without triggering any advisories in the last two annual cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 6,400 miles covered between May 2023 and May 2024, and another 6,091 miles recorded between May 2024 and May 2025. This regularity suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and brake components often associated with standing. While the recent passes are clean, the history shows two failures in 2023 and 2025 that occurred just days before the successful tests. Because the record does not list specific defects for these failures, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the high-wear areas that typically cause last-minute failures. Focus on the structural integrity of the subframes for corrosion corrosion, as well as checking the condition of the suspension bushes and the thickness of the brake discs to ensure no recurring issues are developing between test intervals.
