2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C1.8L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with all six MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 resulting in a pass. The most recent test on 2025-06-13 at 125,294 miles confirmed no defects, aligning with the prior five annual tests. No recurring issues or escalating faults were recorded across the 14-year span, indicating consistent maintenance and adherence to regulatory standards. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been operated within typical parameters, with no evidence of neglect or excessive wear. Mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 6,000–7,000 miles, reflecting average usage for a 14-year-old vehicle. The 2021-06-08 test at 105,452 miles to the 2025-06-13 test at 125,294 miles represents a 19,842-mile accumulation over four years, consistent with the 8,950-mile annual average. No irregularities in mileage gaps or sudden spikes are evident, reinforcing the impression of regular, predictable usage. The MOT history lacks anomalies, such as prolonged periods without testing or abrupt mileage jumps, which would signal potential maintenance lapses. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop over time without visible MOT failures. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on corrosion in underbody areas and chassis seams. While the MOT record shows no active issues, these elements are critical for long-term reliability and should be verified by a qualified technician.
