2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KU12 SFK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available testing history. The most recent inspection on 10 September 2025 at 134,775 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred on 1 October 2024 at 123,511 miles, the immediate rectification and pass on the same day suggest the owner addressed the mechanical issue promptly rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. Between October 2022 (101,001 miles) and October 2024 (123,512 miles), the car covered roughly 22,500 miles, showing a slight increase in usage compared to the 9,900 miles recorded between the 2022 and 2023. This regular use is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components as it prevents the corrosion and brake seizing often associated with long periods of inactivity. Because there are no recorded advisories or recurring faults in the digital history, a physical inspection must focus on high-wear areas typical for this Mercedes-Benz generation. A buyer should examine the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the subframes and suspension arches, which often degrade at this age. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the control arm bushes and looking for leaks on the shock absorbers is essential to ensure the clean MOT record reflects the actual mechanical state of the drivetrain.
