2012 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · YA61 CVU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 139 209 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable: after a single failure in February 2024 (111 984 miles) the car has passed every subsequent test, indicating that any isolated issue was resolved and the car has been kept in a consistent state of service. Mileage accumulation shows a steady pattern over the vehicle’s life. Between February 2023 and February 2024 the odometer rose by 15 039 miles, then by 11 309 miles to February 2025, and finally by 15 916 miles to the latest reading. This averages roughly 14 000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 14‑year‑old model. The MOT entries are spaced approximately twelve months apart, with the most recent test only five months ago, confirming that the record is up to date. A prospective buyer should inspect the brake system for pad wear, disc condition and caliper binding, as the 2024 failure—though undocumented—may have involved a brake or suspension component. Suspension bushes, coil springs and trailing arms should be examined for corrosion or excessive wear, given the high mileage and the vehicle’s age. The exhaust and under‑body should be checked for rust, and tyre tread depths, pressure and alignment verified. Finally, all fluid levels, including coolant, oil and brake fluid, must be confirmed correct, ensuring the car’s maintenance history is reflected in its current mechanical condition.
