2012 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · WJ62 AGV

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-07-31 assessment at 61,316 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed passing results with no recorded faults, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or failures across this period suggests the car has been well cared for, with no signs of deteriorating systems or recurring defects. The mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 4,380 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s 14-year age. Notably, the 2022-07-28 test at 44,327 miles and subsequent 2023-07-25 test at 47,961 miles reveal a gradual accumulation without abrupt spikes, which might indicate regular use rather than prolonged inactivity. However, the low total mileage for its age could suggest periods of limited operation, potentially affecting components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. The MOT history lacks any mention of corrosion, structural issues, or drivetrain faults, which is reassuring but does not confirm active use. A buyer should inspect the suspension for wear on bushes and coil springs, as low mileage may mask typical degradation. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as infrequent use can lead to binding or seizing. The exhaust system requires scrutiny for rust, particularly in areas prone to moisture accumulation. While the MOT records show no immediate concerns, the vehicle’s low mileage and age necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the condition of components that may not have been fully exercised.
