2020 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · GV20 AEM

The most recent MOT on 13 August 2025 resulted in a failure, so the car is presently not road‑worthy. The tester flagged an off‑side front inner tyre with exposed ply or cords, a condition that supersedes the earlier pass and indicates a deterioration from the tyre wear noted in 2023. The trend in tyre health is worsening, while earlier minor advisories have been resolved. Mileage has risen from 16,588 miles at the 14 August 2023 test to 28,127 miles on 13 August 2024, then to 41,602 miles on 13 August 2025. The annual increase of roughly 12‑13 thousand miles aligns with typical usage for a six‑year‑old Mercedes‑Benz C‑Class and shows no abnormal gaps or periods of inactivity. The record is otherwise clean, with no evidence of sudden spikes or long‑term neglect. A prospective buyer should give the tyres immediate attention, confirming that the off‑side front inner tyre is replaced and that all remaining tyres are free of cracks, edge wear, or exposed cords. Brake pads and discs, which were flagged as thin and pitted in 2023, merit a visual check to ensure they have been serviced or replaced. The registration plate lamp, noted as inoperative in 2024, must be functional, and the front plate itself should be inspected for deterioration that could affect legibility. Although no suspension or structural advisories appear, a brief examination of suspension bushes and chassis for corrosion will confirm the absence of hidden defects.
