2011 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KY61 AEV

The most recent MOT test on 29 July 2025 at 116,853 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean history of passes since 2022, all with zero advisories. The maintenance trend is stable and appears well-managed. The single failure on 15 July 2025, also with no defects recorded, is an anomaly in the record but does not indicate any underlying mechanical issue. The mileage accumulation is consistent, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per year. The gap between the 2022 test at 91,258 miles and the 2023 test at 100,230 miles shows a typical annual mileage of around 9,000 miles. The jump from 108,531 miles in July 2024 to 116,743 miles in July 2025 is about 8,200 miles, again within normal bounds. There are no extended gaps or sudden spikes to suggest periods of disuse or heavy commercial use. With no recorded faults or advisories across five tests, the vehicle has a notably clean bill of health. However, for a 15-year-old car, a buyer should still arrange an independent inspection focusing on common Mercedes-Benz C-Class issues. Check for corrosion on suspension components and subframes, as structural rust can develop silently. Also inspect brake discs and pads for wear, and listen for any knocks from suspension bushes or drop links. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but it does not guarantee the condition of consumables like tyres, wiper blades, or the exhaust system.
