2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · WG12 ABN

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT record over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on 21 July 2025 at 98,671 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This lack of failures suggests the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical wear and tear before it reached the point of failing a DVSA inspection. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 81,362 miles and July 2025 at 98,671 miles, the car covered 17,309 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of stagnation. This low annual mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it requires the buyer to monitor age-dependent items like rubber seals and bushings more closely than high-mileage vehicles. Despite the clean history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related degradation that does not always trigger an MOT advisory. Inspect the front suspension subframe and rubber control arm bushings for cracking, as these are common failure points on C-Class models of this era. Check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage usage can lead to surface oxidation if the vehicle is not driven frequently. Verify the chassis for structural rust around the wheel arches and sills to ensure the integrity remains sound despite the vehicle's age.
