2012 Mercedes-Benz C 3.0L Diesel · WJ62 AAN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. On 22 December 2022 at 114,605 miles, the car passed its inspection with no recorded defects, following a failure earlier on the same day which suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying immediate issues to ensure compliance. The lack of any advisories in that final test indicates that the mechanical and structural components met minimum standards at that time. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. The record shows a clear progression of 16,638 miles between November 2020 and December 2021, followed by another 27,784 miles between late 2021 and late 2022. This steady usage suggests the car was driven regularly rather than left sitting, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber components and brake seals to prevent the corrosion and seizing often associated with long periods of standing. Because the last recorded test occurred over three and a half years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for an MOT. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, as Mercedes models of this era are prone to rust on the subframes and wear on control arm bushes. Given the time elapsed since the last check, the buyer should also inspect for brake caliper corrosion and the condition of fluids which may have degraded since the 2022 certification.
