2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · ML62 ACJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-02 at 73,066 miles recorded a pass, but an identical failed test on the same date suggests a data inconsistency. No defects were noted in any test, indicating no immediate mechanical failures. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past four years, with consistent passes at 60,085, 65,149, 69,260, and 73,066 miles. However, the gap between the 2024-06-17 test (69,260 miles) and the 2025-04-02 test (73,066 miles) exceeds 12 months, raising questions about compliance with MOT deadlines. The vehicle’s mileage of 73,066 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 5,219 miles annually, significantly below the UK average. This low usage suggests either infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like batteries, fluids, and rubber seals. The absence of defects in all tests implies routine maintenance, but the lack of recorded advisories on tyres, suspension, or corrosion limits insight into long-term wear. The duplicated 2025-04-02 test entry further complicates assessment of itsTrue compliance history. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles may develop stiffness or uneven wear from inactivity. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car has been stationary. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed, as no rust or damage was noted in the MOT records, but visual checks for corrosion around the chassis and underbody are recommended. The lack of detailed advisories means a physical inspection is critical to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the MOT data.
