2010 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · DU60 AAX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a maintenance trend that has stabilized following a period of reactive repairs. The latest test in August 2025 at 93,329 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that previous mechanical and safety issues were addressed. This follows a clean pass in August 2024 at 85,912 miles, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that prevents immediate operational failures. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 93,329 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent over the decade, with the car covering roughly 30,000 miles between 2015 and 2025. While low mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of corrosion, which is evidenced by the brake-related failures noted later in the history. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension components during a physical inspection. The 2023 failure highlighted excessive corrosion on both the nearside and offside front brake pipes, which is a recurring structural concern on vehicles of this age exposed to winter road salts. Additionally, the 2024 failure regarding a perished offside front anti-roll bar linkage suggests that suspension rubberwork is reaching the end of its service life. Check for signs of weeping fluid at the brake lines and verify that the corrosion noted in 2023 has not progressed further since the repair.
