2010 Mercedes C 6.2L Petrol · YK10 RZY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in April 2025 with 39,982 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement following a lapse in early 2024. While the March 2024 failure revealed multiple electrical and tyre issues, the subsequent clean passes in the following year thereafter indicate that the owner addressed these immediate concerns and maintained the vehicle to a passing standard. At 16 years old, this Mercedes has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the sixteen-month gap between the September 2021 and the January 2023 tests. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based components. The accumulation of 3,296 miles between March 2024 and April 2025 represents a slight increase in usage compared to the historical average. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres thoroughly, as the history shows a 2023 advisory followed by a 2024 failure for exposed cords and inner-edge wear. This pattern suggests potential alignment issues or incorrect inflation pressures during periods of use. Given the low mileage and long intervals of standing stationary, a close inspection of the suspension bushes and brake hoses is essential, as these components can crack and perish over time without being driven regularly. The buyer should also verify that the electrical repairs from the 2024 failure remain functional without intermittent bulb faults.
