The 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-180 Kompressor (W203) is a distinctive example for its age. With low mileage of 72,000 miles over 20 years and meticulous maintenance, the vehicle remains in a condition closely resembling the original factory standards. Body and Appearance The vehicle has been preserved in exemplary cosmetic condition: Geometry: The body panels are perfectly aligned, with all panel gaps conforming to factory specifications. History: The vehicle has not been involved in any accidents, and the paintwork confirms the body is intact. Corrosion: Unlike many models within the W203 series, which are susceptible to corrosion on the wheel arches and doors, this example remains immaculate and is well-maintained. Engine and Mechanical Components Under the hood, there is a reliable 1.8-litre supercharged engine producing 143 horsepower: Engine Condition: The engine operates smoothly, with no unusual noises or vibrations. With proper maintenance, such units typically have a service life of 250,000 to 350,000 kilometres. Maintenance: The engine is dry and free of oil leaks, with no evident issues related to gaskets or camshaft magnets common to this model. Suspension and Chassis A notable advantage of this vehicle is the complete replacement of the front suspension components: New control arms, silent blocks, and racks have been installed. Common W203 issues, such as knocks in ball bearings and worn stabiliser bushings, have been resolved. The vehicle handles road conditions as if new, providing the manufacturer's characteristic smooth ride and cabin quietness. Cabin Electronics: All functions, including dual-zone climate control and electric seat adjustments, operate correctly. Comfort: The cabin exhibits no extraneous noises, rattles, or panel vibrations, which are commonly observed in higher-mileage vehicles.
