2011 Mercedes-Benz C200 SE ED 125 CDI Blueef-CY 2.1L Diesel · OV61 LCO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful MOT test on 27 April 2026 at 143,452 miles. While the maintenance trend appears consistent over the last three years, the unexpected failure on 11 April 2026 at just 143,169 miles warrants scrutiny. The fact that the vehicle failed and then passed within two weeks without any recorded defects suggests a specific component was rectified or a minor adjustment was made that the previous owner addressed immediately before the re-test. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between February 2023 and April 2026, the car covered 28,430 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of stagnation or excessive heavy commuting. The interval between tests remains regular, with a roughly 10,000-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests, which indicates the vehicle has been kept in active road under standard operating conditions. Since the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or structural corrosion, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to this C-Class generation. Inspect the front suspension bushes and arms for signs of tearing, as these often degrade around the 140,000-mile mark. Check the brake discs for thinness or uneven wear and verify that the recent failure in April 2026 was related to a minor sensor or a consumable component that was not explicitly detailed in the final pass report.
