2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KE15 ABU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on March 4, 2026, 74,917 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently passes its inspections despite initial failures on the same dates. The fact that the March 2025 and 2026 tests showed no recorded defects suggests that minor issues are being identified and rectified immediately before retesting, rather than indicating a systemic mechanical decline. At 74,917 miles over eleven years, the car has averaged approximately 6,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage patterns for a premium saloon. There is a notable gap in records between the August 2024 test at 66,550 miles and the March 2025 test at 67,358 miles, representing only 808 miles over seven months. This pattern suggests intermittent use or periods of standing, which can sometimes lead to therelated degradation of rubber components or brake fluid, despite the relatively low cumulative mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension assembly and braking system, as the low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from age-related wear. Check for perished suspension control arm bushes and coil springs, which often fatigue over time regardless of distance driven. Given the recent failures followed by immediate passes, verify that the brake calipers are free from binding and excessive corrosion on the discs to ensure the previous faults were properly addressed with quality parts. Inspect the underside for any structural corrosion to ensure the chassis integrity remains sound as the vehicle enters its second decade.
