2010 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · AC10 MAW

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 70,910 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. Annual mileage sits low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 57,820 miles in August 2021, rising to 60,944 by August 2022, 63,149 in August 2023, 67,386 in August 2024, and 70,910 in August 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 to 4,500 miles added each year, averaging about 4,432 annually. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the odometer advanced steadily and the DVSA entries are consistent with light, regular use rather than prolonged standing or hard driving. The absence of any advisories across all five tests means the tester never flagged worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust issues. Such a clean sheet suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and mechanical items within limits. A buyer should still verify in person that no latent corrosion has formed on subframes or sills, since a Mercedes of this age can hide rust where the MOT lift does not expose it. Given the low yearly use, check for perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres from occasional standing. The brake calipers and handbrake mechanism deserve a road test to confirm they are free and not seizing after light mileage. Otherwise the official history supports a sound, low-wear example with no recorded mechanical concerns.
