2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · CC10 BEC

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the July 2025 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 17 July 2025 at 108,104 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the history reveals an odd pattern of same-day failures and passes at both 84,996 miles on 12 July 2024 and 108,102 miles on 17 July 2025, where the tester logged a failure with no defects recorded before a clean pass hours later. Such entries typically indicate administrative re-tests or documentation errors rather than mechanical faults, and no advisories or defects have ever been flagged across the three years of supplied records. Mileage accumulation sits at a reasonable 7,722 miles per year for a 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, with the record showing 63,214 miles at the July 2023 test, 84,996 miles in July 2024, and 108,104 miles by July 2025. This equates to roughly 21,000 miles covered in each of the last two twelve-month periods, a moderate rise from the longer-term average but not excessive for the drivetrain and suspension. The data is sparse, offering only three test years with clean sheets, so the absence of recorded wear items tells us little about consumable replacement discipline from prior keepers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the car is now fourteen years old and has passed 100,000 miles without any advisories being logged. The lack of flagged corrosion or structural concerns is reassuring, yet MOT tests are snapshot checks and will not capture intermittent binding calipers or worsening steering play between visits. Given the clean record and typical mileage, the vehicle shows no evidence of neglected upkeep, but the same-day fail-pass pairs warrant a check of the DVSA portal to confirm those were clerical rather than genuine rejection reasons before purchase.
