2007 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · PA07 AEG

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz C presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 19 October 2022 at 132,167 miles returned a clean pass, matching the four prior tests in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 which all passed without advisories. This consistent record indicates the vehicle has met statutory standards without escalating mechanical concerns over the observed period. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a nineteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,956 miles per year against the 132,167 miles recorded. The test history shows steady accumulation: 101,297 miles in June 2018 rising to 112,111 by June 2019, then 124,060 in December 2020, 127,778 in October 2021, and 132,167 in October 2022. A fourteen-month gap separates the 2019 and 2020 tests, yet the increment remained modest. The DVSA data is sparse in detail, with no advisories logged on any entry, so no wear patterns or consumable replacements are documented. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The absence of advisories does not preclude age-related degradation in suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs that testers may have judged within tolerance at the time. At 132,167 miles and nineteen years old, structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close examination, as MOT passes on older Mercedes bodies can mask early rust before it breaches the test threshold. Given the last test occurred in October 2022, the vehicle is now over three years without a recorded MOT and likely off the road or untested since. Confirm road tax status, verify the odometer against service records, and scrutinise the drivetrain for leaks or worn mounts that a clean MOT history would not necessarily expose.
