2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · WJ62 AEE

The Mercedes-Benz C presents as roadworthy based on the most recent DVSA test conducted on 20 October 2025 at 28,144 miles, approximately nine months prior to the current date, with a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. Three successive annual examinations from late 2023 onward show clean outcomes, following two failed tests in 2023 that listed no defects. The 2012 saloon displays exceptionally low mileage for its age. It covered 25,655 miles by 10 August 2023, then 25,663 on 10 November 2023, 25,673 on 29 November 2023, 26,535 on 19 November 2024, and 28,144 on 20 October 2025. This equates to roughly 2,010 miles per year. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear in the record. The sparse defect history suggests light use rather than deferred maintenance, though the two 2023 fails with no recorded faults hint at procedural anomalies rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase. Low-mileage vehicles often develop hidden issues from prolonged standing. Examine suspension bushes for cracking, brake discs for corrosion, and calipers for binding. Check structural integrity under arches and sills for rust, and verify exhaust emissions under load. The absence of MOT advisories does not exempt the car from worn rubber components or intermittent faults. The earlier failed tests without listed defects warrant a query to previous keepers or test centres to confirm the reasons.
