2023 Mercedes-Benz C 220 AMG Line D Mhev Auto 2.0L Electric diesel · PL23 ABO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-06 at 43,931 miles showed no defects, confirming a stable maintenance trend over the past 12 months. Previous tests in 2025-06-26 (40,368 miles) and 2024-06-26 (9,744 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent compliance. However, the 2024 test at 9,744 miles—far below the average annual mileage for a three-year-old vehicle—suggests potential periods of inactivity, which could have impacted fluid systems or battery health. The subsequent rapid accumulation of 31,000 miles in 14 months raises concerns about accelerated wear on consumables and mechanical components. The mileage pattern reveals a stark disparity between the 2024 test and subsequent entries. A vehicle aged three years with 43,931 miles averages 14,644 miles annually, yet the 2024 test recorded just 9,744 miles, implying possible storage or low usage. The jump to 40,368 miles by 2025-06-26—30,624 miles in 12 months—exceeds typical usage, increasing risk to brakes, suspension, and drivetrain. While no defects were flagged, the absence of detailed technical notes in the MOT records limits insight into potential hidden issues from this rapid mileage growth. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage can exacerbate these components. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, particularly after sudden mileage spikes. Corrosion in the exhaust system and underbody is another concern, given the potential for inactivity in 2024. The lack of advisories in the MOT history is positive, but the irregular mileage trajectory warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
