2010 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · MH60 ARH

The vehicle's most recent MOT history shows an improving trend regarding mechanical defects, moving from advisory warnings to a clean pass in July 2026. The July 2026 test initially resulted in a failure due to a non-functional nearside front dipped beam headlamp and an offside front headlamp aim that was too low. Once these lighting issues were rectified, the vehicle passed with no further defects recorded. The recorded mileage of 41,641 miles is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging approximately 2,603 miles per year. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or was used only for very short distances. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can often lead to other issues such as perished rubber components or seized brake components due to lack of regular movement. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The records show a recurring pattern of front brake disc wear, with an advisory in August 2023 noting pitted or scored discs and a subsequent advisory in August 2025 regarding worn discs. Although the July 2026 test recorded no defects, the history of disc degradation suggests the front braking components are a primary area of wear. The recent lighting failure in July 2026 indicates that electrical components or bulb housings may require monitoring. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, tyres, and battery health is advisable to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from the typical side effects of infrequent use. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
