2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · ML62 ABO

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 96,527 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test eleven days prior on 17 October 2025, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered approximately 6,895 miles per year over its fourteen-year lifespan. The distance between the September 2023 test at 86,210 miles and the October 2024 test at 91,850 miles shows a steady usage rate of roughly 5,600 miles annually. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of neglect or excessive commercial use. The absence of any advisories or failures across five years of testing is unusual for a 2012 model. The record shows no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc deterioration from 2022 through 2025. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust, as MOT testers often overlook surface corrosion that does not yet compromise safety. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads manually, since the clean MOT history provides no data on the remaining life of these consumables. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and transmission fluids have been changed according to manufacturer intervals, as the MOT record only confirms basic roadworthiness.
