2011 Mercedes-Benz C 3.0L Diesel · KM60 EYF

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 105,211 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior year's pass at 100,138 miles on 16 January 2025 also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test on 15 January 2025 at 100,134 miles, which the record lists with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, cleared the next day. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a fifteen-year-old car. The records show 86,608 miles in January 2023, 94,917 in January 2024, 100,138 in January 2025, and 105,211 in January 2026. That is roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles per year across the captured period, below the lifetime average of 7,014, indicating light recent use. The DVSA data is sparse with five entries over three years and no advisories, so the history gives limited insight into wear items but shows no escalation of faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low annual use, as standing periods can accelerate corrosion and seizing of calipers not caught in a no-defect test. The clean MOT record means no recurring structural or mechanical trends require targeted follow-up, yet the January 2025 fail with zero defects warrants confirmation the entry was a clerical issue rather than a suppressed fault. Pre-purchase checks should focus on underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions, with particular attention to any hidden rust around subframes. The ownership pattern implied by low mileage and clean tests suggests careful, infrequent use, but the sparse record offers no evidence of proactive consumable replacement such as tyres or wiper blades.
