2011 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · 46 PH

The vehicle presents a generally clean maintenance record, though the most recent inspection indicates a lapse in basic consumable upkeep. In the February 2026 test carried out at 79,728 miles, the tester flagged that both the nearside and offside rear tyres were worn to the legal limit of 1.6mm with uneven edges. This suggests that while the vehicle remains mechanically compliant, the current owner has neglected routine tyre replacement. Despite this advisory, the car passed the 2026 test without any major defects, indicating that the core structural integrity and braking systems have remained stable since the previous year. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows a significant period of high use between December 2023 and February 2026, where the car covered over 31,000 miles in just two years. Prior to this, the vehicle sat or was used for long intervals, recording only 82 miles between May 2021 and May 2022. Such intermittent usage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, or fluid contamination, despite the low odometer reading. Between 2021 and 2025, the vehicle maintained a perfect record with no recorded defects, suggesting the chassis, suspension, and exhaust system were in good condition during those inspections. However, the low mileage relative to the age means a buyer should still inspect for corrosion on the underbody and perished suspension bushes, which often affect Mercedes models that sit for extended periods. The recent failure on tyre depth is the immediate concern requiring attention, but the lack of recurring mechanical failures in the history suggests the vehicle has not suffered from chronic mechanical neglect.
