2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C4.0L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a maintenance trend that is currently beginning to show minor component wear. The most recent test in October 2025 at 35,014 miles passed despite advisories for a worn rear brake disc and light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber. This represents a shift from the previous two years of clean records, suggesting the vehicle is entering a phase where rubber and hydraulic components require attention. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The record shows steady intervals between tests, moving from 26,159 miles in September 2023 to 29,726 miles in 2024, and reaching the current figure thereafter. This low usage generally implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine, though low mileage can sometimes lead to dry seals or minor brake corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside rear shock absorber to determine if the misting has progressed to a functional leak, which would necessitate immediate replacement. The worn rear brake disc noted in 2025 should be checked for thickness and surface condition to ensure it has not reached the minimum operating limit. Given the low usage, a physical inspection should also verify the suspension bushes and tyres for signs of cracking or flat-spot that often develop with age rather than through high mileage.
