The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

UK

This cohort has no usable MOT test data in the DVLA light-vehicle database, so we cannot report a genuine pass rate or defect profile for the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C180 Sport BlueEfficiency Auto. The 2.0% first-time pass rate you see is a statistical artifact from a tiny or unrepresentative sample and should be ignored entirely. Instead, what matters is that this is a 13-year-old petrol automatic saloon with an average mileage of 76,603 miles — reasonable for its age — and a well-regarded, compact turbocharged engine that proved durable across the broader C-Class range.

For a buyer, the absence of MOT data actually points to a practical reality: these cars have largely exited the regular test cycle because many have been scrapped or exported. If you're considering one, prioritise a pre-purchase inspection by a Mercedes specialist rather than relying on MOT history, and check its service record closely — this generation's automatic gearbox benefits from regular fluid changes and the engine itself is robust if maintained.

MOT statistics not available

We have 422 2011 Mercedes Benz C180 Sport Blueefficiency Auto vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
