2010 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · AD10 CCJ

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 137,265 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in March 2025 and March 2024 also returned clean passes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the supplied record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening or recurring defect patterns over the observed period. Mileage accumulation is low for a 16-year-old vehicle. The record shows 136,090 miles at the April 2022 tests, rising only to 137,265 miles by July 2025, a gain of roughly 1,175 miles across three years. Annual averages sit near 8,579 miles but the recent gap suggests extended periods of limited use. A notable anomaly appears on 5 April 2022 when the car failed at 136,090 miles with no defects listed, then passed the next day at identical mileage, implying an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean history, no specific suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion issues require flagging from the MOT data. The sparse record and low recent mileage mean a buyer should still verify in person for standing-related problems such as perished rubber components, seized calipers, or underbody structural rust that a no-defect test may not capture on a lightly used car. The two-decade-old Mercedes with minimal recorded faults implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, though the 2022 fail-pass pair shows no evidence of skipped maintenance. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm drivetrain condition and absence of hidden wear not visible in MOT outcomes.
