2010 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · KP10 DCZ

The vehicle presents a stable and sound roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 27 February 2023 at 26,400 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior clean pass on 26 February 2022 at 22,911 miles. Two consecutive MOTs with zero advisories indicate the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that satisfied DVLA examiners on structural integrity, suspension, brakes, and emissions. At roughly 16 years old the odometer shows just 26,400 miles, an average of about 1,650 miles per year. The record spans only the 2022 and 2023 tests, so we see 3,489 miles added across those twelve months. Such low annual use points to light running or extended standing periods rather than hard drivetrain wear, though sparse history leaves earlier years unverified. A clean sheet across both tests means no recurring faults flag for immediate concern. Still, long stationary intervals on a 2010 Mercedes-Benz C risk perished suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on brake discs or underbody members from moisture. The buyer should physically check for structural rust, degraded rubber components, and binding calipers that a low-mileage lay-up can mask. Given the last test dated over three years before today, the MOT has since lapsed. Any purchase demands a fresh test plus a hands-on inspection of exhaust condition, steering joints, and fluid integrity before road use.
