2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · PO62 YYZ

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the August 2024 pass at 121,475 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the prior failure on 25 July 2024 at 121,148 miles also listed no defects, indicating the rejection was administrative rather than mechanical. This pattern repeats from 2023, where the 7 August failure at 114,664 miles carried no defects before the 8 August pass at 114,669 miles. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2012 car, averaging around 8,677 miles per year against the 121,475 miles recorded. The records show steady accumulation: 108,639 miles in August 2022, 114,664 by August 2023, and 121,148 by July 2024. No large gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean advisory columns across all five entries suggest either diligent pre-test preparation or light reporting by testers, though the paired fail-pass dates six days apart in both 2023 and 2024 imply the owners addressed paperwork or minor presentational issues swiftly rather than neglecting the car. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as the MOT record omits advisories that often surface on a 14-year-old Mercedes at this distance. The repeated no-defect failures mean no structural corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or binding calipers were logged, but absence of advisories is not proof of component health. Given the two consecutive years of same-week fail-then-pass cycles with zero defects, verify the failure reasons on the DVSA portal before purchase. The history implies competent ownership, yet the lack of recorded wear items leaves tyres, wiper blades, and underbody condition unverified by the tester.
