2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · BW12 AGY

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 20 February 2025 at 100,854 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the January 2024 and February 2023 tests also produced passes at 94,450 and 88,248 miles respectively, following minor same-week failures that carried no recorded defects. The pattern shows no escalating mechanical concerns across the observed four-year span. Recorded mileage sits at 100,854 against a 2012 build, equating to roughly 7,200 miles per annum and reflecting typical use for a fourteen-year-old executive saloon. The gap between the February 2023 pass at 88,248 miles and the January 2024 failure at 94,436 miles shows only 6,188 miles added in eleven months, a modest accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories or component-specific faults logged at any stage, which limits deeper wear inference but suggests no flagged neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as these items accrue silent wear absent from a clean MOT sheet. The two defect-free failures on 25 January 2024 and 16 February 2023 imply administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults, yet confirm the car entered testing twice without clear preparation. Given the absence of corrosion, emission, or structural integrity flags across all five entries, the Mercedes shows no evidence of serious risk. Verify in person that the no-advisory record matches reality on tyres, underbody, and drivetrain before purchase.
