Our Verdict
This 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a solid option for buyers seeking a diesel saloon with relatively low mileage for its age. While it had a recent MOT failure, the most recent pass suggests any immediate issues were addressed.
When inspecting this specific 2012 model, focus on the recent MOT failure in August 2025. Although the specific defect wasn't listed in the summary, you should ask the seller exactly what failed and request the invoice proving the repair was completed. Since the vehicle is a diesel, ensure the timing chain and DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) have been monitored, as these are common considerations for this engine size.
Check the service history to see if oil changes have been performed at regular intervals. Given the mileage is approaching 90,000 miles, you should also inspect the suspension components and tyres, as these are frequent failure points for the C-Class model across the wider dataset.
As a 2143cc diesel, this vehicle is likely to offer efficient long-distance fuel economy, making it suitable for motorway commuting. You should check the specific Euro emission standard to determine its compatibility with Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) or Clean Air Zones (CAZ), as this will impact daily running costs.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles tend to be higher than budget brands, particularly for specialist parts. Expect moderate insurance groups and standard diesel tax bands. An estimated annual budget should account for regular servicing and the potential for wear-and-tear items like brakes and tyres.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the suspension arms and tyres, as these are the most common reasons for MOT failures in the wider C-Class population. Even though this specific vehicle's recent MOTs showed no defects, these components are subject to significant wear on UK roads.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for any signs of clouding or moisture ingress, as headlamp issues are a top failure reason for this model. Finally, check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as any signs of fluid leaks under the engine bay, to ensure the vehicle's mechanical state matches its clean recent MOT record.
This silver 2.1L diesel Mercedes-Benz C-Class has covered 88,193 miles since its registration in December 2012. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with a single failure recorded in August 2025 just days before a subsequent pass. Compared to the model average of 7,591 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven slightly more than the typical example.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class shows an 82.2% average MOT pass rate across the analysed dataset, with suspension and lighting being common areas of concern.
