2013 Mercedes-Benz C 6.2L Petrol · TA57 AMG

A consistent record of clean MOT results over the last several years defines the mechanical history of this Mercedes-Benz C-Class, with the most recent test on 14 April 2026 showing no defects recorded. The vehicle has maintained a stable profile of roadworthiness since at least 2019, having passed every annual inspection without any recorded failures. The only recorded advisory in the provided history occurred in October 2021 regarding the fitment of all under trays, a point which has not reappeared in subsequent tests. The vehicle has covered 87,540 miles over its thirteen-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,734 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical light-to-moderate driving rather than high-intensity motorway use or excessive short-distance urban trips. From a mechanical standpoint, this moderate mileage suggests that while primary drivetrain components and suspension linkages may not have reached the high-wear thresholds seen in higher-mileage examples, the vehicle has been in regular enough use to avoid the complications often associated with long periods of stationary storage. Given the absence of recent advisories for corrosion, brake component wear, or fluid leaks, the inspection should focus on verifying the current state of the underbody and suspension. While the 2021 advisory regarding under trays was cleared in subsequent years, a physical inspection of the plastic shielding and mounting points is advisable to ensure they remain secure and intact. On a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and suspension for any sudden knocks or knocks over uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the bushes or coil springs that has not yet reached the threshold for an MOT advisory. The lack of recorded defects regarding braking systems or exhaust emissions suggests that the fundamental safety and environmental components have met the required standards in recent years. However, because MOT tests are snapshots of a single moment, you should still monitor for any pedal judder or pulling to one side during braking, and listen for any irregular exhaust notes or vibrations at idle. These checks will help confirm that the clean MOT trend remains consistent with the actual mechanical condition of the vehicle.
