2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · YB62 AEG

The vehicle appears to be in a stable mechanical condition based on the available data. The most recent MOT test on 1 June 2023 at 100,791 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean pass on 31 May 2022, suggesting the car has maintained a consistent standard of roadworthiness over the last few years. The mileage pattern is typical for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 7,199 miles per year. There was a notable increase of 8,220 miles between the May 2022 test at 92,571 miles and the June 2023 test at 100,791 miles. The record shows a failure and an immediate pass on the same day in May 2022, though the lack of recorded defects for either entry is unusual and suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical fault. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no mentions of corrosion, suspension wear, or braking issues. However, the vehicle has not undergone a recorded test since June 2023, leaving a gap of over three years relative to the current date of July 2026. This suggests the car may have been stationary for a significant period. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system for binding calipers and the tyres for flat spots or perishing due to prolonged inactivity. Checking the battery health and fluid levels is essential. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural rust on the chassis and suspension mounting points is advised, as these are common failure points for this model that may not have been flagged in the sparse recent history.
