2012 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · KS12 LLC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on April 4 2026 at 72,794 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, despite a technical failure recorded just eight days prior on March 27 at 72,778 miles. The fact that no defects were listed on that failed report suggests a clerical-related administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was immediately rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2025, the car covered only 4,665 miles, indicating periods of very light use or extended storage. This low-frequency usage typically means less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from the drying of rubber-based components and the degradation of fluid properties over long stationary periods. Given the clean history with no recorded advisories over the last three years, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than mileage. A buyer must inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking and the coil springs for corrosion, as these perish regardless of distance driven. The brake discs should also be checked for surface pitting or binding calipers if the vehicle has sat for long intervals between tests. The structural integrity of the underbody remains a priority to ensure that hidden surface rust has not developed despite the clean appearance of the MOT record.
