2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · ML62 ADU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-10-22 at 98,159 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2023-09-29 (93,135 miles) and 2023-08-11 (92,431 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2023-08-08 (92,428 miles) was recorded with no defects listed. This suggests either a technical anomaly or a misclassification, as no actionable faults were noted. The absence of recurring mechanical failures in the last 18 months implies consistent upkeep, though the failed test warrants scrutiny to confirm its validity. The vehicle’s mileage of 98,159 miles at 14 years old aligns with an average of 7,011 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. MOT intervals between 2022-11-14 (88,445 miles) and 2023-08-11 (92,431 miles) show steady accumulation, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps. The data lacks significant anomalies, though the August 2023 failed test remains unexplained. The clean record since 2023-09-29 suggests no emerging issues, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential underlying concerns. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension, brakes, and exhaust system during a physical inspection, as these components are prone to wear in older models. The absence of corrosion or structural defects in MOT records is reassuring, but the 2023-08-08 failure—despite no recorded faults—highlights the need to review service history for unlisted repairs. Checking for brake fluid leaks, suspension bushing wear, and exhaust system integrity would provide clarity on long-term reliability. The vehicle’s MOT history does not indicate critical risks, but thorough in-person evaluation remains essential.
