2010 Mercedes-Benz CLC 2.1L Diesel · LC10 BVG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in August 2025 at 81,309 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a mechanical failure in 2024. While the previous year required repairs to the suspension and fitment, the most recent inspection indicates no outstanding defects, suggesting that the identified issues were addressed and the vehicle is currently in a stable state. At 81,309 miles over 16 years, this Mercedes has clocked significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage with intervals of roughly 2,500 to 3,000 miles between tests. Between August 2024 and August 2025, the car covered only 2,757 miles. Low-frequency use often prevents excessive wear on the drivetrain and engine but can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry given the history of recurring faults. The 2023 test flagged play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, and the 2024 failure involved a fractured nearside front coil spring. These entries indicate that the front end components are prone to stress or fatigue. You should check for signs of perished rubber bushings or corrosion on the control arms, as the uneven tyre wear noted in 2024 suggests a potential alignment issue or worn bushes that may not be fully rectified.
