2013 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · SP13 KXY

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT certificate from September 2025 at 151,277 miles. The maintenance trend shows inconsistent upkeep, evidenced by recurring advisories concerning oil leaks and tyre wear. A significant mechanical fault was flagged on September 23, 2024, where the nearside front upper suspension arm ball joint was found excessively worn. This suggests a potential ongoing issue with suspension components that requires immediate attention. Mileage accumulation between 2024 and 2025 was relatively slow, with a gap of approximately 8,000 miles between the suspension failure and the most recent test. The record indicates that the vehicle has consistently failed checks related to tyre tread depth and brake pad thickness in the spring of 2024. This pattern implies that routine preventative maintenance, specifically checking consumables and suspension integrity, was not consistently performed by previous owners. A buyer should inspect the suspension system thoroughly, focusing on the nearside front upper arm ball joint and the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint for signs of excessive wear or corrosion. The brake system requires immediate attention, as the brake pads were found below the minimum thickness requirement on May 1, 2024. Finally, the oil leak noted across multiple tests indicates a potential issue with seals or gaskets that should be diagnosed by a qualified mechanic.
