2012 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · SS11 AAN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-11 at 72,385 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the same date shows a failed test with no defects noted, suggesting potential administrative or procedural anomalies. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 also passed without issues, creating an inconsistent pattern. While the latest result is positive, the lack of defect details in both pass and fail outcomes limits definitive assessment of mechanical health. The vehicle’s age and mileage align with a low annual usage of ~5,170 miles, which may reflect infrequent use or extended storage periods. The MOT history shows regular annual testing, with mileage increasing from 60,445 miles in 2023 to 72,385 miles in 2025. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, suggesting consistent but light usage. The absence of recorded defects across all tests implies no critical failures in brakes, suspension, or emissions, though this does not confirm the absence of minor wear. The low mileage may reduce wear on components like brake discs and tyres but could also indicate underuse, potentially affecting fluid longevity and electrical systems. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection to verify the absence of hidden issues not captured in MOT records. Focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these components can degrade without triggering MOT failures. Check for corrosion in underbody areas and assess tyre condition, as low mileage may lead to uneven wear or dry rot. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring faults, but the lack of defect data in failed tests warrants caution. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond recorded MOT results.
