2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · FP62 PKC

The latest 2026‑03‑13 MOT at 116,647 miles passed with no defects recorded, demonstrating that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record is stable. Mileage has risen from 93,879 miles in the March 2023 test to 116,647 miles in the March 2026 test, an increase of 22,768 miles over three years, or roughly 7,600 miles per year. The jump from 100,418 miles in February 2024 to 106,154 miles in February 2025 represents 5,736 miles in twelve months, while the final year added 10,493 miles, indicating a modest acceleration in usage during the most recent period. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brakes for binding calipers, and inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, as these components commonly show signs of age despite the clean MOT outcomes. Visual checks of the chassis rails and structural joints for rust, and verification of the exhaust system’s integrity, are also advisable given the vehicle’s 2012 manufacture date. Finally, assess tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the state of the fluid levels, since regular replacement of these consumables is expected at this mileage and age, and their condition may not be reflected in the MOT’s non‑defect listing.
