2013 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · SC62 AAK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-06 at 94,486 miles showed a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend despite a prior failure on 2026-01-28 at 94,447 miles, which also reported no defects. This suggests the car has been consistently maintained, with no critical issues flagged in the latest assessment. The absence of structural or mechanical failures in the last three tests implies the vehicle remains roadworthy, though the January 2026 failure may indicate non-critical compliance issues resolved before the subsequent pass. The mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s 13-year lifespan, averaging 7,268 miles annually. Notable gaps include a 7,928-mile increase between the 2024-01-09 test (80,943 miles) and 2025-01-06 test (88,871 miles), which could reflect seasonal usage or storage. The 2023-04-14 test at 79,821 miles and subsequent checks show a steady, predictable accumulation, with no rapid wear patterns evident. The MOT history is clean, with no recurring defects or advisories, suggesting the previous owner prioritized routine upkeep. While the records show no specific mechanical faults, a buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points in older Mercedes models. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but a visual check of brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear is recommended. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody should be examined for rust, as the vehicle’s age and mileage could expose hidden corrosion. The lack of emissions or structural issues in the MOTs supports the car’s reliability, but a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to confirm its condition.
