2012 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · DF12 PWX

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 9 June 2025 at 66,445 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a trend of perfect records over the last five years. This stability suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical and safety failures typical of cars of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 4,746 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 44,098 miles and the June 2025 test at 66,445 miles, the car covered 22,347 miles. This consistent low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system, though low frequency use can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components. The lack of any advisories across these intervals indicates that the vehicle has remained in good condition despite the low odometer readings. A physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age and neglect rather than mileage-related wear. The buyer should check for perished suspension bushes, cracked sidewalls, and signs of fluid leaks, which can occur when vehicles sit for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, a close look at the chassis and underbody is necessary to ensure no surface rust has developed between the test intervals. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to be a well-cared-for example of its low-mileage specification.
