If you own or are considering buying a 2010 Mercedes-Benz Clc180 Komp Sport Auto, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall.

Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights.

Suspension — 2.5% of failures

Suspension issues account for 2.5% of MOT failures on 2010 Mercedes-Benz Clc180 Komp Sport Auto models. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding.

Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
