2011 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · NL61 ABZ

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-03-31 assessment at 69,530 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also showed passing results with no recorded issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-maintained within the scope of mandatory inspections. The mileage of 69,530 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 4,635 miles annually, which is lower than average for this age. The MOT records show regular testing every 12 months, with no gaps in coverage, implying consistent compliance. The gradual increase in mileage from 48,745 in 2022 to 69,530 in 2026 suggests steady usage rather than sudden accumulation, though the low annual average could indicate periods of inactivity. This pattern does not raise immediate red flags but warrants attention to potential storage-related wear. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over time without visible MOT failures. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop gradually. Corrosion, especially in body seams or underbody panels, is a risk for a 15-year-old vehicle, even with low mileage. While the MOT history shows no structural issues, a pre-purchase survey is advised to confirm the integrity of these hidden systems.
