2010 Mercedes-Benz C 6.2L Petrol · WA57 ARM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-02 at 64,540 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a preceding failure on 2026-01-28 at 64,538 miles also showed no defects. This irregularity suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or administrative errors. Earlier tests from 2025 and 2024 similarly showed passes and failures without recorded issues, indicating a lack of clear mechanical trends. The absence of defects in passing tests implies no critical faults, but the repeated failures without explanations raise questions about the reliability of the MOT history. The vehicle’s mileage of 64,540 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 4,034 miles annually, which is below the typical usage for its age. This low mileage may indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, potentially affecting components like the battery, tyres, and fluid systems. Notably, the gap between the 2024-01-29 pass at 57,784 miles and the subsequent 2024-01-26 failure at 57,780 miles spans just four miles, an anomaly that could reflect testing errors. The 2025-01-22 pass at 61,582 miles and the 2026-02-02 pass at 64,540 miles suggest a stable maintenance pattern, though the sparse defect data limits definitive conclusions. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the braking system, as repeated MOT failures—despite no recorded defects—may hint at unresolved issues like binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be checked for wear, given the low mileage’s potential to mask gradual degradation. Additionally, the exhaust system and corrosion levels warrant scrutiny, as these are often overlooked in MOT tests. The vehicle’s history does not flag structural concerns, but the inconsistent test outcomes underscore the need for a professional mechanical check to confirm roadworthiness.
