2011 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · YP60 XAL

The overall roadworthiness status is currently PASSED, but the maintenance trend is clearly worsening due to a pattern of multiple failures on the same axle groups. The most recent test in July 2025 at 203,576 miles was a PASSED test, but the failure record immediately preceding this date in December 2024 indicates a significant degradation in suspension integrity. This is compounded by the fact that the 2025 test was conducted only three months after the 2024 failure, suggesting that the wear on the front and rear anti-roll bars has accelerated over the past year. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of miles since its first MOT in December 2024, reaching 201,701 miles in that same month. This pattern is highly indicative of a vehicle that has been driven for extended periods without regular servicing, leading to the rapid loss of structural integrity on critical suspension components. The fact that the car has been tested again in 2023 at 198,306 miles further confirms that the wear rate has not stabilized or improved, despite the initial passing of the 2025 test. The buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural and mechanical risks, particularly focusing on suspension bushings, ball joints, and anti-roll bar linkages, as well as the condition of brake discs and exhaust emissions. The recurring faults on the anti-roll bar linkage and suspension components, combined with the lack of dust cover on the rear anti-roll bar linkage, suggest that the vehicle may require immediate professional assessment to prevent further damage to the drivetrain and suspension system.
