2012 Mercedes-Benz C 6.2L Petrol · FP12 VUM

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following a pass on 20 March 2026 at 63,748 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 19 March 2026 at 63,747 miles, though the DVSA entry lists no defects against either the fail or the pass. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent clean pass confirms the car cleared requirements without advisory or defect data logged. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 2012 registered Mercedes-Benz C-Class, rising from 58,175 miles at the 14 March 2023 test to 63,748 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 1,857 miles per year across the last three years, and about 4,553 miles per year over the vehicle's life. The gaps between tests are narrow and consistent, with no sudden accumulation or dormant periods evident in the supplied record. The clean sheets from 2023 through 2026 indicate no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust, or structure at the recorded intervals. Given the absence of any advisories or defects across five consecutive tests, the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that satisfied annual statutory checks without noted consumable neglect. The unexplained fail immediately before the March 2026 pass warrants a direct question to the seller or test station to confirm no concealed rectification took place. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion, as MOT cleanliness does not certify component life beyond the test day. Low annual mileage can mask degraded rubber mounts, seized calipers, or moisture-driven structural corrosion from prolonged standing. Verify service history against the 63,748-mile odometer and confirm the March 2026 failure cause before purchase.
