2010 Mercedes-Benz CLC 1.8L Petrol · GF60 AEX

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLC presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 69,523 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. This follows three consecutive clean passes in November 2024 at 67,981 miles, December 2023 at 66,764 miles, and November 2022 at 65,490 miles. The only blemish is a failed test on 1 December 2023 at 66,726 miles, where the DVSA record shows no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault given the immediate pass four days later. Mileage stands at 69,523 against a 16-year lifespan, averaging roughly 4,345 miles per year. The car has covered just 4,033 miles across the full recorded MOT span from November 2022 to November 2025. Such low annual use implies light running but also raises the likelihood of prolonged standing periods, which typically accelerate perishing of rubber suspension bushes, brake caliper seizing, and underbody corrosion on older Mercedes models. The record itself is sparse and clean, offering no advisories on tyres, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity to flag emerging wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe given the vehicle's age and low-use profile, as the MOT history contains no corrosion assessment detail beyond the absence of recorded failures. The front suspension arms, rear coil springs, and brake calipers warrant hands-on checks for binding or fatigue that a static test may not capture. The December 2023 failure with no defects logged deserves clarification at point of sale, though the swift re-test pass indicates no lasting concern.
