2011 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · LA11 XCZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 11 June 2026 at 89,492 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the mechanical defects identified in previous years appear to have been addressed. The absence of advisories in the most recent test indicates that the current owner is proactive in rectifying flagged faults before they result in a failure. At approximately 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 89,492 miles represents a low average of roughly 6,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage, with 8,814 miles driven between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 7,944 miles covered between 2025 and 2026. This steady low mileage reduces general wear on drivetrain components and engine internals but increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber seals and fluid systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, as the nearside front shock absorber failed for reduced damping during the June 2025 test at 81,548 miles. While the latest test passed, the coolant leak noted in June 2024 at 72,734 miles necessitates a thorough check of the cooling system for residual residue, perished hoses, or weeping gaskets. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a physical inspection for structural corrosion on the chassis and subframe is essential, as stationary vehicles often suffer more from surface rust than high-mileage examples.
