2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · WJ62 AFF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. It passed its most recent MOT on 22 April 2023 at 76,343 miles with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test three days prior on 19 April 2023, the record shows no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 5,453 miles per year. The accumulation pattern shows a significant jump between March 2021 at 54,625 miles and April 2022 at 67,245 miles, where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in a single year. Conversely, the car has remained virtually stationary since April 2023, with only 83 miles added between the failure and the pass in that same month. A buyer should focus on components affected by long periods of inactivity. Because the car has not had a recorded test since April 2023, the current roadworthiness is unverified. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished tyre rubber, seized brake calipers, and degraded battery health. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the suspension bushes for cracking due to age rather than wear. Given the lack of recorded advisories over the last five years, there is no evidence of structural rust or recurring mechanical failure, but a fresh inspection of all fluids and rubber seals is necessary to confirm the car has not deteriorated while standing.
