2011 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · LR11 AEA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on March 30, 2026 at 71,802 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a period of clean passes over the previous three years. Although a single failure was recorded during the March 2025 test at 64,459 miles, the immediate retest success that same day indicates the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent, light usage, with 7,570 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 5,296 miles between 2024 and 2025. This low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid breakdown due to potential periods of inactivity. Given the low annual mileage, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that perish over time rather than through distance. Examine the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for corrosion or fractures, as these often fail on cars that sit infrequently. The braking system should be checked for signs of pitting or seized calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles are not used regularly. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for rust to ensure that the age of the vehicle has not compromised the metalwork despite the low odometer.
