2012 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · CV62 WMG

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass recorded on 10 July 2025 at 90,570 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available history. The test one day earlier on 8 July 2025 at 90,544 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, a known DVSA administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent retest cleared the car. No advisories or defects appear on any test in the sequence, indicating no worsening pattern of wear or recurring mechanical issues across the five-year span reviewed. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,469 miles per year for a 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class now showing 90,570 miles. The records show steady, low accumulation: 74,502 miles in July 2022, 79,335 in June 2023, 84,960 in July 2024, and 90,544 to 90,570 across the two July 2025 tests. No gaps exceed thirteen months and no rapid jumps occur, suggesting consistent light use rather than neglect or high-stress motorway cycling. The clean sheet across all entries implies previous owners kept basic consumables and emissions within limits, though the absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes or corroding subframes were not flagged for attention. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car despite the clean MOT trail. The tester logged no structural integrity concerns, yet a fourteen-year-old Mercedes of this class commonly develops corrosion at sill seams and rear axle mounts that a visual MOT check can miss until penetration occurs. Verify brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding calipers or thin discs leave no advisory until they breach limits. Check the coil springs and front lower arms for cracking or perished rubber, and confirm tyre sidewall condition given the low annual mileage may mask age-related degradation rather than tread loss. The record shows no warning signs, but the lack of advisories offers no assurance on components nearing silent failure.
