2011 Mercedes-Benz C250 2.1L Diesel · GC03 COT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 February 2026 at 112,888 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently achieved passes without recorded advisories over the last two years. While the record shows failures in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were minor issues rectified immediately before retesting rather than chronic mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The car covered 8,493 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 10,440 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and brake seals to prevent the perishation or seizing often associated with long periods of standing. Given the clean advisory history, a buyer should still focus a physical inspection on components prone to age-related wear at this mileage. At 112,000 miles, the rubber suspension bushes, control arm ball, and shock absorber seals often show signs of cracking or leaking. The buyer should check the brake discs for excessive thinning and inspect the subframe for structural corrosion, as the MOT test does not flag surface-level rust until it reaches a structural threshold.
