2007 Mercedes C 3.0L Diesel · SF07 AXB

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The June 2025 test at 82,705 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets all DVSA requirements. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2007 model, averaging roughly 4,353 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the odometer climbed from 80,069 to 82,705 miles, confirming the car is used sparingly. While the low mileage reduces general drivetrain wear, the record shows two instances where the car failed immediately before passing on the same day in June 2023 and June 2024. These rapid turnarounds indicate that minor faults were rectified on-site to secure the certificate. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or flat-spotted tyres. Given the absence of recorded advisories, the structural integrity and suspension bushes appear sound on paper, but a physical check for chassis corrosion is essential for a vehicle of this vintage. Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes. Long periods of standing can lead to sludge buildup or battery failure. Verify the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion, as the low annual mileage often leads to pitting and reduced stopping efficiency.
