2011 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · D9 PHD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 90,563 miles passed with no defects recorded, marking a significant improvement over previous years. This clean result follows a period of consistent passes, suggesting that the car is currently in a well-maintained state. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in usage or long periods of stagnation. The distance covered between the 2022 test at 75,896 miles and the 2023 test at 80,872 miles shows a steady increase in annual usage, but the overall accumulation remains typical for a 2011 model. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and underside corrosion. The 2020 test at 71,469 miles flagged pitted brake discs across all four corners and a corroded central rear upper brake pipe. While these were not failures, they indicate a period of neglect. The 2021 test at 73,907 miles further highlighted thin brake pads and a binding offside rear brake, suggesting a systemic issue with the braking hardware that may have required a full overhaul. Suspension and tyre wear also warrant a close look. The 2020 test noted a deteriorated nearside front lower arm ball joint boot and uneven tyre wear on the front axle. A failure on 17 January 2023 at 80,863 miles for low nearside rear tyre tread confirms a pattern of delayed consumable replacement. Verify that the suspension bushes and ball joints have been replaced since 2020 to ensure the vehicle handles correctly and safely.
