2011 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LP60 THX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the most recent inspection. The November 2025 test at 81,347 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a brief failure in October 2024 at 128,662 miles, though the record shows no specific mechanical faults were identified during that failure, suggesting a minor non-compliance was rectified immediately to achieve the subsequent pass. The mileage data shows a significant and highly unusual discrepancy. While the vehicle is approximately 15 years old, the recorded mileage has dropped from 128,662 miles in October 2024 to 81,347 miles in November 2025. This represents a decrease of over 47,000 miles in a single year, which is physically impossible for a standard road vehicle. This suggests either a significant clerical error in the DVSA database or a serious discrepancy in how mileage has been recorded during recent testing. A prospective buyer must treat the mileage data with extreme caution due to this massive inconsistency. Before proceeding, verify the odometer reading against the service history and physical inspection. Given the low average annual mileage implied by the 2025 figure, the vehicle may have spent long periods stationary, which can lead to perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or degraded fluids. Focus the physical inspection on the underside of the chassis for signs of corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Because the mileage history is unreliable, you should assume the vehicle may have higher wear on the drivetrain and braking system than the 81,347 figure suggests. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear and check for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox to ensure the vehicle has been maintained despite the irregular data.
