2011 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KW61 ABW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 November 2025 at 105,078 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently addressed any issues immediately to achieve a pass. The history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful retests, suggesting that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying defects to maintain legal standards rather than allowing mechanical or safety faults to accumulate. The mileage profile is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between December 2023 at 74,358 miles and November 2025 at 105,078 miles, the car covered over 30,000 miles in two years. This indicates a recent increase in usage compared to the previous period where it covered only 14,636 miles in a year. This higher mileage places greater demand on wear items such as suspension bushes, tyres, and brake components, which require closer monitoring for degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower suspension components and lighting systems, as these are the likely areas where the previous failures occurred. Given the vehicle's age and recent mileage increase, a thorough check for structural integrity and surface corrosion on the subframe and mounting points is essential, as Mercedes-Benz models from this era are prone to oxidation over time. While the record is clean of advisories, the lack of recorded minor faults means that gradual wear on rubber bushings might go unnoticed until it reaches a failure threshold.
