2012 Mercedes-Benz C CLASS C180 BlueEFFICIENCY SE 4dr Auto

The entry-level W204 provided access to Mercedes' engineering and build quality at an accessible price point. While not a performance car, the C180 offered refinement and prestige that justified its position in the premium segment. Ideal for those prioritising the Mercedes ownership experience over outright performance.

Generally reliable base engine. Timing chain wear possible on high-mileage examples. Lower-specification interior trim can show wear earlier. Less stressed than performance variants so typically trouble-free. Regular service maintains reliability.

Sport Package, panoramic roof, upgraded audio, leather interior, navigation, heated seats, automatic transmission, documented service history.
