2012 Mercedes-Benz C220 SE CDI Blueefficiency A 2.1L Diesel · SK12 UCS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted on 29 May 2025 at 128,524 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes over the previous three years, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that avoids recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,180 miles per year. There was a notable increase of 23,030 miles recorded between June 2023 and June 2024, followed by a further 19,121 miles in the following year. This acceleration in usage suggests higher utilization in recent years compared to its earlier life. The single failure recorded in June 2023 at 86,270 miles appears to be an isolated incident, as the vehicle passed just two days later, likely implying a minor mechanical issue was rectified immediately before the re-test. While the digital record is clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to high-mileage wear on this Mercedes platform. Given the 128,000-mile mark, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of perished rubber or fatigue. The braking system should also be evaluated for binding calipers or thin discs, as the MOT does not always capture the remaining life of these consumables. Checking the chassis for structural corrosion on the underbody remains essential for a vehicle of this age, despite the lack of structural failures in the recorded history.
