1999 Mercedes-Benz C 4.3L Petrol · T41 VOO

The 2022‑04‑05 MOT at 118,915 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with only a damaged offside front mirror and a cracked near‑side front tyre recorded as defects. The history shows a stable maintenance pattern; recurring suspension bush wear appears but does not progress to excessive movement, and no escalation in brake or structural faults is evident. Mileage accumulation averages about 4,400 miles per year, yet the record reveals long periods of inactivity, notably the 113‑mile increase between the 2014 and 2022 tests, indicating the car spent several years stationary. A buyer should focus on the suspension arm rubber bushes and lower ball joints, which have repeatedly shown deterioration without excessive play, and verify that the ABS warning lamp is functional and that rear brake binding has been fully resolved. Inspection of tyre condition, brake hose integrity, and any signs of structural rust near wheel arches is also advisable. Overall, the vehicle’s low mileage and consistent pass rate suggest careful use, but attention to suspension condition, brake functionality, and any signs of structural rust is advisable before purchase.
