2012 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · YA12 AAZ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent inspection. The November 2025 test at 65,558 miles shows a successful pass with no recorded defects or advisories, suggesting that the vehicle's core components are currently meeting regulatory standards. While the record shows a failed entry on the same date, the immediate subsequent pass indicates that any minor non-conformity was rectified promptly. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 14-year-old Mercedes-Benz, averaging approximately 4,683 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, steady progression from 54,455 miles in November 2022 to 65,558 miles in November 2025. This low-mileage usage pattern suggests the car has seen light use, though such infrequent driving can sometimes lead to issues with rubber components or fluid degradation due to long periods of standing. Given the lack of recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions over the last four years, the vehicle appears well-maintained. However, a buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for signs of corrosion and check the condition of the tyres and wiper blades, as these consumables are often not captured in MOT records unless they reach a specific legal threshold. Focusing on the mechanical integrity of the drivetrain and suspension is advised during a physical inspection. Although the MOT history shows no recurring faults, the low annual mileage means the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy mechanical wear, but it may require attention to seals or bushings that can perish from age rather than distance.
