Our Verdict
A strong option for buyers seeking a low
The primary focus for a buyer should be the advisories from the March 2026 MOT. Negotiate the price to account for the replacement of both front wheel bearings and the rear brake discs, as these are flagged as worn or having play. Ensure you verify the service history, as the MOT records only confirm the vehicle met minimum legal standards and not the frequency of oil changes or filter replacements.
Given the 2143cc diesel engine and the vehicle's age, it is advisable to check for any signs of Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) issues, particularly if the car has spent most of its life in urban environments. Confirm that the tyre tread depths are currently healthy, following a 2022 advisory where all four tyres were worn close to the legal limit.
The 2.1L diesel engine provides a balance of efficiency and torque, though annual tax will depend on the specific CO2 emissions of this 2013 variant. Insurance groups for the C-Class are typically moderate, but expect higher-than-average costs for genuine Mercedes-Benz replacement parts.
Typical maintenance for a vehicle of this age and mileage includes periodic brake system overhauls and suspension component replacements. When combining fuel, tax, insurance, and scheduled maintenance, the total annual expenditure is estimated to be around £1,400-£1,800.
Prioritise a physical inspection of the front wheel bearings; listen for humming or droning noises during a test drive, as both the nearside and offside front bearings were noted to have 'slight play'. Inspect the rear brake discs for the pitting and scoring mentioned in the March 2026 MOT report.
Referencing aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the suspension arms and headlamps, as these are among the most common reasons for MOT failure across the C-Class range. Finally, check the current condition of the tyres to ensure the issues noted in October 2022 were fully rectified with quality replacements.
This 2013 black Mercedes-Benz C-Class has recorded 89,391 miles, placing it below the model average. It has a consistent record of five MOT passes without a single failure. However, the latest inspection in March 2026 identified wear on both front wheel bearings and rear brake discs.
The C-Class maintains a solid reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 82.4%, though tyres and suspension arms are frequent points of failure.
