2010 Mercedes-Benz CLC 1.8L Petrol · CU60 VZX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests recently. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 88,397 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and 2025, suggesting that the owner has maintained the mechanical condition effectively over the last three years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent but light usage intervals, with only 1,369 miles covered between February 2025 and March 2026. While there was a recorded failure in February 2024 at 82,262 miles, the vehicle passed the re-test just five days later at 82,299 miles. This suggests the failure was due to a minor consumable or a simple item that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Despite the clean MOT record, the low mileage deands a close physical inspection of components susceptible to age rather than wear. A buyer should inspect for rubber degradation, such as perished suspension bushes and split tyres, which often occur on vehicles that sit for long periods. The braking system should be checked for corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust and sticking pistons. Additionally, examining the chassis for structural rust is essential to ensure the age of the vehicle has not compromised its integrity despite the lack of mileage-related wear.
