2007 Mercedes C220 SE CDI A 2.1L Diesel · TKZ 7403

The 2007 Mercedes C220 SE CDI A presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 6 August 2025 at 217,866 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests in April 2024 at 190,648 miles, April 2023 at 185,278 miles, and May 2022 at 165,348 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance record shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred repairs. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 11,467 miles per year against the vehicle's 19-year lifespan, a typical figure for this age of diesel saloon. The record shows a tight cluster between April and May 2022 where a failure on 23 April at 164,815 miles was followed by a pass on 2 May at 165,348 miles, suggesting a swift rectification of an unspecified fault. From 2022 to 2025 the car covered 52,518 miles, a steady annual rate with no standing periods evident in the data. The DVSA entries are sparse on defect detail, which limits deeper wear analysis but points to no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake disc concerns. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's high total mileage and Mercedes aluminium/composite chassis mix. The clean MOT trail does not exempt the C220 from age-related degradation of coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions systems that testers may have missed or not yet flagged. Verify the April 2022 failure cause through the full DVLA refusal certificate, as the record shows no defects listed yet a fail outcome occurred. Pre-purchase checks should prioritise drivetrain condition on the 165,000 to 217,000 mile span, including turbo and dual-mass flywheel wear common to this OM646 engine. Tyre tread and wiper blade condition remain consumable items absent from the advisories but worth physical confirmation given the 27,000 miles since the last recorded test.
