2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · RO12 YFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 12 June 2025 at 95,409 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a pattern of clean passes in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained effectively without recurring major failures. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 85,899 miles and June 2025 at 95,409 miles, the car covered 9,510 miles, maintaining a steady annual usage pattern. This low-mile profile typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though the age of the vehicle means that rubber-based components and seals may suffer from perishation regardless of the distance driven. While the MOT record shows no technical failures, a physical inspection should focus on age-related wear common to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Inspect the structural integrity for corrosion on the subframe and rear suspension mounting points as these areas are prone to rust over a decade. Check the suspension bushes for cracking or tearing and examine the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear, as the MOT does not measure the thickness of these components. Given the low mileage, verify that fluid levels and hoses are fresh to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing between tests.
