Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle holds a clean, unbroken pass record across its last five MOTs, with the most recent test on 28 February 2025 at 109,237 miles returning no defects or advisories. That is a favourable result, and the maintenance trend is stable rather than worsening. Nothing in the recorded history suggests a mechanical fault or structural issue has been allowed to develop. The car has simply passed each annual inspection without any tester commentary, which points to consistent brake, tyre, and suspension condition at the time of each test. The mileage pattern is broadly typical for a 13-year-old car, working out to roughly 8,400 miles per year. The odometer readings tell a coherent story: 85,529 miles in September 2021, rising to 96,784 by November 2022, a short 2,945-mile gap to March 2023, then 97,729 to 100,600 by February 2024, and a sustained 8,637-mile year leading to 109,237 in February 2025. There are no suspicious jumps or long dormant periods. The only minor observation is that the current MOT expired in February 2026, some five months ago, so the car will need a fresh test before it can be driven lawfully. Because the DVSA record shows no flagged faults, a buyer cannot rely on any recurring advisory to guide an inspection. Instead, focus on the usual wear items for a 109,000-mile Mercedes C-Class. Check the condition of the tyres and brake discs and pads, and look for binding calipers or uneven pad wear. Examine the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for play or corrosion, and probe the underside for structural rust, particularly around jacking points and subframe mounts. A clean MOT history at this age is a good sign, but it only reflects the condition on test day; the subsequent 10,000-plus miles since February 2025 are unaccounted for, so verify that the car has been maintained and serviced in the interim.
