2011 Mercedes-Benz C250 2.1L Diesel · LX61 XHS

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend following a specific mechanical failure. The most recent test in November 2025 at 71,458 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. The clean result of the last two inspections suggests that the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle's safety components to MOT standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows a period of inactivity between 66,168 miles in July 2023 and 67,976 miles in July 2024, followed by a steady increase to 71,458 miles. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which should be monitored for perish. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry, given the failure for a fractured offside front coil spring recorded in July 2024 at 67,976 miles. Considering the age of the car, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and ball joints is necessary, as these parts often age regardless of low mileage. The presence of underbody trays noted in 2024 suggests some protection against road debris, but the structural integrity should still be inspected for corrosion along the sills to ensure the low usage has not masked hidden rust.
