2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LT62 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile following a period of instability in mid-2024. The most recent test on 2 August 2025 at 141,217 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a brief period of failure in July 2024, where the car failed two consecutive tests at 130,159 and 130,255 miles before passing on 29 July 2024 at 130,336 miles. The fact that the vehicle has since passed its inspections without further issues suggests that the underlying causes of those July failures were addressed. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 14-year-old Mercedes-Benz. The vehicle has covered 141,217 miles, averaging approximately 10,087 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 121,708 miles in August 2023 to 130,336 miles in July 2024, and finally to 141,217 miles in August 2025. This steady increase indicates regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate the risk of perished rubber components or seized calipers. While the recent MOT history is clean, the two failures in July 2024 warrant a physical inspection of the components that typically trigger such failures. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as well as the brake discs and pads for uneven wear. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a thorough examination of the underbody for structural corrosion is also advised to ensure no degradation has occurred that the MOT tester may have missed during the recent passes.
