2012 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · ML62 AAO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-19 at 115,255 miles recording no defects. However, the 2024-12-20 test shows conflicting outcomes—both a pass and a fail at the same mileage of 107,251 miles, which may indicate a data inconsistency or a minor issue resolved between tests. No structural, braking, or emission faults were noted in the latest valid test, suggesting the maintenance trend remains stable. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,232 miles annually. From 2022-12-19 (90,727 miles) to 2025-12-19 (115,255 miles), the vehicle accrued 24,528 miles over three years, with no significant gaps or spikes. The 2024-12-20 tests at 107,251 miles—despite the conflicting results—show no recorded defects, reinforcing the absence of critical mechanical or safety issues in the recent history. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, which can degrade over time without obvious warning signs. Brake discs and calipers should also be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often manifest gradually. While the MOT record shows no immediate concerns, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough examination of the exhaust system and body corrosion, as these areas are prone to hidden deterioration.
