2010 Mercedes-Benz C 3.0L Diesel · FG10 ACU

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2026-02-19 MOT at 136,296 miles recording a pass and no defects. Subsequent tests from 2025-02-11 (129,755 miles) and 2024-01-16 (123,732 miles) also passed without issues, confirming consistent maintenance. A single failed test on 2023-02-01 at 115,721 miles is noted, but no defects were recorded, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor, unresolved concern. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the last four tests indicates the vehicle has been well-maintained. Mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s 16-year age, averaging 8,518 miles annually. The MOTs are spaced consistently, with intervals of 11–13 months, reflecting regular servicing. Notably, the 2023-02-02 test at 115,721 miles followed the failed entry on 2023-02-01, but no defects were logged, implying potential resolution or oversight. The lack of significant mileage spikes or gaps suggests steady usage, though the 2023-02-01 failure remains unexplained. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age, and inspect brake systems for wear, as these are common areas of degradation. Structural corrosion should also be checked, as it often develops in older models. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm any underlying problems were addressed. The absence of advisories or defects in recent tests supports the car’s reliability, but physical inspection of high-mileage components is advised.
