2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · S33 YEK

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz C stands as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the 30 May 2025 DVSA test at 133,639 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Every annual examination from May 2021 through May 2025 delivered a clean result, showing the previous keeper kept the vehicle to standard. The mileage progression matches typical use for a 14-year-old executive saloon. The May 2021 test at 102,049 miles preceded the 24 May 2022 reading of 108,278 miles, a 6,229-mile year. By 16 May 2023 the odometer showed 116,025 miles, a 7,747-mile gain, then the 11 June 2024 pass at 125,407 miles reflected a 9,382-mile interval. The final 2025 figure of 133,639 miles closed the sequence with an 8,232-mile addition. No gaps appear in the testing chain. Such disciplined annual submissions imply the owner prioritised statutory upkeep. The official record raises no recurring suspension, brake, or structural corrosion advisories across the five tests. A buyer should still physically examine front lower suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the car's age and 133,639 miles. Inspect subframe and sill structures for rust penetration, as Mercedes bodies of this era can develop hidden corrosion despite clean MOT outcomes. Confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition during viewing, though testers flagged no consumable defects.
