All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed passing results with no faults, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or critical failures suggests the car has been well cared for, with no emerging mechanical concerns. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,686 miles annually. MOTs were conducted at roughly 12-month intervals, with the longest gap between 2021-03-05 (38,192 miles) and 2021-12-27 (45,499 miles), a nine-month span.

The clean record through five consecutive tests implies no significant wear or neglect in key systems. While the MOT history shows no faults, a physical inspection should focus on common Mercedes-Benz C-class vulnerabilities. Check suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. Examine brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion, and assess exhaust emissions compliance despite the clean MOT record. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel damage may not appear in MOT tests. A thorough check of fluid levels and underbody condition is advisable to confirm ongoing maintenance.
