2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.1L Diesel

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 54,396 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical averages for a 14-year-old vehicle. The record shows 42,924 miles in July 2021, rising to 45,631 by September 2022, 47,655 in September 2023, 51,198 in October 2024, and 54,396 in September 2025. That equates to roughly 2,500 to 3,400 miles added each year. The low, consistent accumulation suggests gentle use or extended standing periods rather than neglect through high wear. No advisories or failures appear in any test, so the MOT data reveals no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, corrosion, or emissions issues to track. A clean sheet across five years implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Low mileage and long idle spells can hide perished rubber components, seized calipers, and structural rust that a pass with no defects will not capture. Verify service history matches the odometer and check tyres, wipers, and underseal condition before purchase.
