2011 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KY61 AEJ

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-12-24 MOT at 75,510 miles. The prior three tests from 2024-10-24 (67,289 miles) to 2022-10-26 (58,649 miles) also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The single 2023-10-30 test listed as FAILED but with no defects recorded appears anomalous, possibly a data entry error. Overall, the absence of recurring mechanical failures suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the low mileage raises questions about usage patterns. The vehicle’s mileage of 75,510 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 5,034 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This suggests either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation. Notably, the 2023-11-02 test at 61,425 miles and the 2024-10-24 test at 67,289 miles show a 5,864-mile increase over 11 months, followed by a 8,221-mile jump to 75,510 by 2025. Such irregularity may indicate seasonal use or storage, potentially affecting systems like the battery, brakes, and suspension. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, common in low-mileage vehicles with extended inactivity. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as infrequent use can cause seizing. Structural integrity is not flagged in the record, but the low mileage and sporadic usage patterns warrant a thorough check for rust in hidden areas, such as underbody panels and wheel arches. The MOT history provides no evidence of critical faults, but the vehicle’s maintenance trajectory suggests a need for proactive mechanical evaluation.
