2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C1.6L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-08-01 assessment at 92,215 miles. The 2023-08-04 and 2024-07-29 tests also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. A single failed test on 2023-08-03 at 72,323 miles was recorded without defects, which may indicate an administrative error or a minor issue resolved before retesting. Overall, the trend shows no emerging mechanical risks. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,587 miles annually. Notable gaps include a 24-hour interval between the 2023-08-03 failure and 2023-08-04 pass, which may reflect data entry inconsistency. The jump from 77,974 miles (2024-07-29) to 92,215 miles (2025-08-01) covers 14,241 miles in 13 months, suggesting increased usage in the final year. No significant wear indicators are flagged in the record, but the rapid accumulation warrants scrutiny of consumables like tyres and brake pads. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for age-related wear given the vehicle’s 14-year lifespan. The exhaust system and corrosion in body panels, especially in high-mileage areas, require attention. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop over time without MOT detection. No structural integrity issues are noted, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection is advised to confirm the absence of hidden faults.
