2010 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · KP60 ABX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 at 181,304 miles with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test on 1 April 2026, the record shows no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 11,332 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between March 2023 and March 2024, where the odometer rose from 134,290 to 153,048 miles. More recent intervals show a steady climb, reaching 181,304 miles by April 2026. This consistent usage pattern typically prevents the seals and gaskets from drying out, though it increases the wear on high-mileage components. The MOT history is exceptionally clean for a sixteen year old vehicle, showing no recorded advisories or failures related to suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion over the last three years. Such a sparse record is unusual for a car of this age and mileage. It suggests either a very rigorous preventative maintenance regime by the previous owner or a tester who has been lenient with advisory notes. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common high-mileage wear points that MOT tests often overlook. Check for oil leaks from the engine and gearbox, assess the condition of the suspension coil springs for hairline cracks, and inspect the underside for surface rust. Given the lack of recorded brake or tyre advisories, verifying the actual remaining tread depth and brake pad thickness is essential to ensure consumables are not overdue for replacement.
