2012 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · AD12 ACE

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 at 120,379 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive passes without a single recorded failure or advisory since September 2021, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car. It covered 11,861 miles between January 2025 and January 2026, which is slightly higher than its long-term average of roughly 8,600 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings from 87,540 miles in September 2021 to the current 120,379 miles, indicating regular and steady use. Because the MOT record is devoid of technical flags, there are no recurring mechanical trends to warn against. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc wear, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions over a five-year period is rare for a vehicle of this age. It suggests the previous owner addressed wear items before they became MOT failures. A physical inspection should still focus on common age-related issues that MOT testers might overlook if they do not impact immediate safety. Check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis or sills and verify the condition of the transmission fluid. Given the lack of recorded faults, the primary focus should be on confirming that the service history matches the clean MOT record.
