2013 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · ST13 AAF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent pass on 9 December 2025 at 66,080 miles. While the most recent test flagged a front inner brake disc as worn, the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections over the last several years. The history shows a transition from a failure in October 2021 to a pattern of minor advisories regarding consumable wear. This suggests the vehicle is being maintained sufficiently to meet legal standards, though it is entering a phase where more frequent replacement of braking components is required. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2013 model, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental growth, such as the 2,671-mile increase between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of stagnation, which is positive for preventing rubber perish or fluid degradation. However, the low annual mileage means the vehicle likely spends more time stationary, which can sometimes lead to uneven tyre wear or seized components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres. The MOT history shows a recurring trend of thinning brake pads and worn tyres. Specifically, the 2021 failure involving exposed tyre cords and the subsequent advisories for rear pads in 2021 and 2023 indicate that the owner tends to run consumables close to their legal limits. The most recent advisory regarding the front inner brake disc suggests that the braking hardware is actively wearing down. Beyond the brakes, the history of edge-worn tyres, such as the nearside rear tyre noted in December 2024, warrants a check of the suspension geometry and wheel alignment. While no structural corrosion or suspension bush failures have been flagged in the records, the low-mileage usage pattern means checking for any signs of age-related deterioration in rubber seals and suspension components is a prudent step.
