2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.1L Diesel

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 56,664 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 56,664 miles against fourteen years of age, an average of roughly 4,047 miles per year. The DVSA entries show steady, low annual use: 31,502 miles in October 2021, 36,335 in October 2022, 43,170 in October 2023, 48,956 in August 2024, and 56,664 in August 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the clean record across all five tests suggests the previous keeper kept the car lightly used and consistently presented it for testing without advisories. With no advisories or failures logged, the MOT data reveals no recurring suspension, brake, or structural corrosion issues. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs, as low-mileage cars left standing can develop perished rubber components and surface rust unseen by the annual test. The absence of flagged exhaust emissions or binding calipers indicates sound mechanical care to date. Verify service history matches the low mileage and check for intermittent use related deterioration such as flat-spotted tyres or seized handbrake mechanisms before purchase.
