2011 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · FG11 CBY

The vehicle currently maintains a high roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 10 November 2025 at 63,296 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating the car was in good mechanical condition. This follows a period of clean passes over the previous three years, suggesting that the owner has addressed any necessary repairs promptly to maintain DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,220 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2024, the car covered only 3,777 miles, reflecting very infrequent use. The single failure recorded on 23 January 2024 at 62,867 miles, followed by a pass the very next day, indicates a minor issue that was rectified immediately rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity can lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from time rather than distance. Check for signs of cracking in the suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls which can become brittle despite low mileage. Given the low usage frequency, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers often common when vehicles sit for extended periods. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for any corrosion, ensuring that the age of the vehicle has not resulted in hidden rust in the sills or mounting points.
