2010 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · FG10 AEC

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on its most recent MOT pass on 22 February 2024 at 63,667 miles. The record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories across the last four years. While the vehicle failed its tests on 28 February 2022 and 28 February 2023, these failures were resolved immediately on the same or following day, suggesting a proactive approach to rectification. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging under 4,000 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2024, the odometer increased by only 4,143 miles. This low usage rate suggests the car has spent significant time stationary. Such patterns often lead to specific degradation issues that are not always captured during a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to deterioration from disuse. Check for perished rubber seals, cracked suspension bushes, and potential seizing of brake calipers. The absence of any recorded corrosion or brake disc wear in the MOT history is positive, but the low mileage increases the risk of tyre flat-spotting or hardened rubber compounds. Verify the current state of the fluids and battery health, as vehicles with this usage profile often suffer from premature battery failure. Given that the last recorded test was over 17 months ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual inspection. A fresh MOT is necessary to confirm that no new mechanical faults have developed during its recent period of inactivity.
