2010 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · VK60 ACV

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-10 at 138,393 miles confirming no defects. A prior test on 2025-05-21 at 137,923 miles recorded a pass, though an apparent duplicate entry for the same date and mileage notes a failure with no defects listed. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error, but the latest result confirms compliance. No recurring mechanical issues or escalating faults are evident from the record, indicating consistent maintenance. The mileage of 138,393 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 8,650 miles over 16 years, reflecting typical wear for the model. The MOT tests are spaced approximately two months apart, with no significant gaps or sudden mileage spikes that would indicate neglect or excessive use. The absence of defects in both the 2025-05-21 and 2025-07-10 tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards, though the duplicate failure entry complicates a clear assessment of its historical performance. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly for rust or corrosion, as older Mercedes-Benz models can develop issues in body seams or underbody components. Inspect the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, for wear, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, as these are common concerns for high-mileage vehicles. While the MOT records show no immediate faults, the unclear failure entry warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical condition.
