2018 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · RA66 ACH

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent December 2025 assessment at 22,657 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2023 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-kept, with no evidence of recurring faults in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage of 22,657 miles over eight years equates to an average of 2,832 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual usage. This low mileage may indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like rubber seals, batteries, and suspension bushes. Gaps between MOT tests—such as the 14-month interval between the 2023 and 2025 assessments—do not raise immediate red flags, but the sparse data limits insight into potential long-term degradation from inactivity. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related deterioration despite the clean MOT record. Focus on suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushings, which may show fatigue from low-speed, high-frequency use. Check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, as infrequent driving can lead to binding or rust. Additionally, examine the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion, and verify the battery’s condition, as prolonged inactivity may have affected its longevity. No structural issues were flagged, but the low mileage warrants a thorough check of all fluid levels and rubber components.
