2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · WJ62 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT on 07 May 2025 at 141,218 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just five days prior at 141,212 miles. This specific sequence suggests a minor, rectifyable issue such as a blown bulb or a sensor fault, which was immediately addressed before the re-test. Since the 2023 inspection, the vehicle has maintained a consistent record without recurring mechanical or structural advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle. With 141,218 miles recorded, the car has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for this class. The data shows a steady accumulation of 3,900 miles between August 2023 and May 2024, followed by nearly 9,860 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This regular interval indicates consistent use, which is generally beneficial for preventing the seal and corrosion associated with long periods of standing. The absence of recorded advisories in the latest tests suggests the previous owners have addressed maintenance items before they became failures. However, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on Mercedes-Benz C-Class models of this age. Given the mileage, checking the brake discs for uneven wear and the underside for structural corrosion remains a priority to ensure the clean MOT record reflects the true current state of the chassis.
