2011 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · YY60 OCS

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 with 129,060 miles. The maintenance trend shows a significant improvement following a mechanical failure in early 2023. Since that failure, the car has undergone three consecutive tests without recorded defects or advisories, suggesting that the previous owner addressed identified faults and has maintained a stable standard of upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 16,025 miles, representing a steady usage of roughly 5,300 miles per annum. This regular interval suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than sitting idle for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of seals, rubber components, and mechanical linkages. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and the power steering assembly. The February 2023 failure at 113,032 miles specifically flagged excessive corrosion on both the nearside and offside front brake pipes, alongside a power steering malfunction. While the subsequent passes indicate these issues were rectified, a visual check of the brake line condition is necessary to ensure that corrosion is not returning in other areas. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, inspecting the suspension bushings and the structural integrity of the chassis is also prudent to detect any hidden wear that a standard MOT test might not capture.
