2010 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · OY60 AEF

The 2026‑03‑13 MOT at 116,619 miles confirms the Mercedes‑Benz C remains roadworthy, with only tyre wear noted as a defect. The maintenance trend is largely stable; minor issues such as headlamp aim and lamp failures have been corrected, while the latest test shows no serious mechanical faults. Mileage has risen from 37,199 miles in 2015 to 116,619 miles in 2026, averaging roughly 7,300 miles per year, which matches the typical usage for a 2010 model. Notable gaps include the 14‑month interval between the January 2024 test at 106,937 miles and the March 2025 test at 111,219 miles, a gain of 4,282 miles, and a similar 4,400‑mile increase between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. A buyer should first examine tyre condition and tread depth, as repeated 5.2.3 notices from 2019 onward suggest deferred replacement and may conceal worn suspension bushes or coil springs. Inspect the headlamp units, wiring harnesses and mounting brackets given the recurring 1.8 aim failures and 1.1.A.3b/1.1.C.1d lamp outages. The 2019 brake pad and disc wear records indicate the braking system may be due for service; checking pad thickness, disc condition and caliper movement is essential. Although no structural rust advisories appear, a visual check of the chassis and suspension mounts for corrosion or damage is recommended.
