2012 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · Y3 WDJ

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, following a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 March 2026 at 75,959 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were addressed. This follows a clean result in 2024, suggesting the owner is proactive regarding repairs when specific failures occur. The mileage profile is consistently low for a vehicle from 2012, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per annum. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 14,494 miles, suggesting light annual use. While this low mileage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and braking components, the failure in March 2025 due to a fractured offside front coil spring at 70,568 miles is a common fatigue point for vehicles that sit for long periods rather than a sign of high-mileage stress. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the replacement coil spring did not cause secondary damage to the strut or control arms. Given the low mileage, rubber components and bushings may be prone to perishing or cracking rather than friction-related wear. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often develop heavy rust on the rotors if not driven frequently.
