2010 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.1L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with no significant mechanical degradation noted in the recent MOT history. The most recent recorded test in November 2022 at 149,937 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories flagged. This follows a clean pass in 2019 and 2018, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard without recurring issues regarding structural integrity or emissions. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age. Between February 2018 and November 2022, the car covered 62,307 miles, averaging approximately 12,461 miles per year. This represents a steady usage pattern rather than erratic high-speed motorway running or long periods of stationary neglect. The single failure recorded in November 2020 at 127,811 miles was resolved within the same day, indicating a minor issue that did not require extensive mechanical intervention. Given the absence of advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion in the documented history, the vehicle appears to have been well-cared for. However, because the last recorded MOT was in November 2022, the vehicle is currently overdue for a new test relative to the present date of July 2026. A physical inspection is required to check for age-related wear that an MOT might miss, specifically regarding rubber components like suspension bushings and drive shafts. A buyer should pay close attention to the underside of the chassis for any signs of surface corrosion or structural rust, as well as the condition of the brake calipers and discs. While the MOT record shows no history of binding brakes or uneven tyre wear, the gap in testing since 2022 means the current roadworthiness of consumables like tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads cannot be verified from this data alone.
