2010 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · KW59 EWZ

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 January 2026 at 43,938 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the car has not entered a worsening or deteriorating condition. Recorded mileage sits at 43,938 miles for a 2010 model, equating to roughly 2,746 miles per year. The DVSA data shows 34,276 miles in February 2023, 36,266 in February 2024, 39,703 in February 2025, and 43,938 in January 2026. Annual accumulation stays between 3,400 and 4,400 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The history is sparse but entirely clean, with the only anomaly being a failed entry on 6 February 2025 at 39,703 miles carrying no recorded defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same day. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished test lineage. Low mileage over sixteen years raises the risk of perished rubber components, degraded suspension bushes, and standing-water corrosion not captured in a pass result. The absence of flagged brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues suggests competent upkeep, yet aged Mercedes suspension arms and subframe mounts warrant physical checks for fatigue. The repeated clean tests imply previous owners addressed consumables before each MOT rather than deferring basic care. Given the car's age, examine underbody structural integrity and brake caliper operation closely, as these areas degrade with time irrespective of low mileage.
