2013 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · RO63 YVU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing an improving maintenance trend following previous failures. The most recent inspection conducted on 6 November 2025 at 72,020 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the issues identified in prior years have been addressed. While the history shows some inconsistency, the latest clean report suggests the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum safety and environmental standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 5,540 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 65,090 miles and the 2024 test at 70,183 miles, the car covered 5,093 miles in one year. This consistent low-usage pattern suggests short-distance commuting. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from degradation of rubber components and perished seals due to periods of inactivity, which is not always captured in a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in November 2023 and 2024, although the provided data does not specify the exact mechanical faults. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, it is vital to check for perished suspension bushes and control arm wear, which often crack over time regardless of distance driven. The inspector should also look for excessive corrosion on the brake discs and caliper sliders, as low-frequency use can lead to accelerated surface rust and seized components.
