2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LL62 KCC

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 20 November 2025 at 158,464 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. Two failed tests in November 2023 and November 2025 carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than underlying vehicle condition problems. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,300 miles per year against the car's 2012 build, a typical use rate for this age. The record shows 130,208 miles on 16 November 2023, rising to 144,556 by 12 November 2024 and 158,195 on 11 November 2025. The 14,000-mile annual increments are consistent and show no sudden accumulation or long dormant periods. The clean pass sheets across four years suggest the previous owner kept basic statutory testing current, though the two no-defect failures hint at lapsed paperwork or retest timing rather than neglected upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the 158,464-mile count and fourteen-year age. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet DVSA tests do not strip components. Verify the front and rear brake calipers move freely and check exhaust emissions against expected Benz diesel or petrol tolerances for the era. Given the sparse but clean history, treat the no-defect failures as minor administrative noise. The vehicle's documented life implies steady, unremarkable use with no warning signs of worsening mechanical risk in the data supplied.
