2010 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · SC59 ACF

The vehicle exhibits an exceptionally stable and clean roadworthiness record, having passed five consecutive annual inspections without a single recorded defect or advisory. The most recent test on 17 May 2025 at 33,015 miles confirms that the car remains in a high state of mechanical readiness. This consistent performance across the last five years indicates a disciplined approach to maintenance and suggests that the vehicle has been spared from the neglect often seen in older luxury models. With a total of 33,015 miles over sixteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 2,063 miles per annum, categorizing it as a low-mileage example. The incremental mileage accumulation between the 2021 test at 24,570 miles and the 2025 test at 33,015 miles is steady and predictable, showing no evidence of long-term storage or sudden periods of inactivity. Such low usage patterns can sometimes lead to issues with seized components or perished rubber, but the clean MOT history implies that the owner has successfully mitigated these risks through regular servicing. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from age-related degradation rather than high-mileage wear. While the MOT history is spotless, the rubber suspension bushes, engine mounts, and brake hoses on a 2010 vehicle may show signs of perishing due to age regardless of the low mileage. Inspect the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and fuel lines, as these are common areas of concern for Mercedes-Benz vehicles of this era. Given the lack of advisories, the current mechanical condition appears excellent, though a routine inspection of the brake discs for pitting and the tyres for sidewall cracking remains prudent before purchase.
