Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-25 at 60,188 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. Previous tests from 2024-11-25 (53,393 miles) and 2023-11-28 (47,159 miles) also passed without issues, confirming a consistent maintenance pattern. The 2023-02-08 tests—both recorded at 42,375 miles—show a pass and a failure, though the latter noted no defects. This suggests either a data inconsistency or a minor issue resolved before the subsequent pass. Overall, the trend shows no emerging mechanical risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 60,188 miles at 11 years old equates to roughly 5,472 miles annually, below the typical average for its age. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, fluids, or rubber seals. The MOT intervals are regular, with no gaps exceeding 12 months, and the mileage progression between tests is steady. No rapid accumulation of miles is evident, which reduces wear on consumables but does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, as low mileage can mask wear from static storage. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, despite no recorded defects. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body panels, warrants inspection to rule out hidden rust or damage. The absence of advisories in recent tests is positive, but the 2023-02-08 failure—despite no defects—highlights the importance of reviewing the full MOT report for context.

Our Verdict

This is a solid buying prospect with a largely clean MOT record and sensible mileage for its age. The single 2023 failure with no defects logged suggests an administrative or minor non-mechanical issue rather than a serious fault.

Given the clean recent MOT history, focus your negotiation on service records — confirm the diesel engine has had timely oil changes and that the AdBlue system (if fitted) has been maintained, as these are common upkeep items on 2015 Mercedes diesels. The February 2023 failure with no defects listed is unusual; ask the seller for the original MOT failure sheet to clarify whether it was a paperwork, emissions, or tester error matter before committing. A black exterior may hide paint swirls and minor corrosion, so inspect panels closely and use any imperfections as leverage on price.

As a 2.1-litre diesel Mercedes-Benz C from 2015, expect reasonable fuel economy of around 50-60 mpg on mixed driving, keeping fuel costs modest for a premium saloon. Road tax for this pre-April 2017 diesel will likely fall in a lower CO2 band than newer cars, though exact band depends on emissions not provided. Insurance group is typically mid-to-high for the C-Class, and maintenance at a Mercedes specialist will be more costly than a mainstream brand, with annual running costs estimated at £900-£1,200 including fuel, tax, insurance, and servicing.

The MOT history shows a failure on 2023-02-08 at 42,375 miles with no defects recorded, which can indicate a rejected test for documentation, a minor tester dispute, or an item corrected same-day; request proof and verify there are no hidden mechanical concerns from that date. With four subsequent passes showing no defects through to 60,188 miles in November 2025, general wear items like brakes and tyres appear well maintained, but still check disc wear and tread depth independently. As a black 2015 model, examine for stone chips, bumper scuffs, and any early rust around arches given British winter road salt exposure.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C 220d-equivalent (2143cc diesel) in black has covered 60,188 miles as of its November 2025 MOT, which is modest for an 11-year-old executive car. MOT history shows four passes with no defects and one failure on the same day in February 2023 at 42,375 miles, also with no defects recorded. No aggregate model reliability data is available, but the individual history here is reassuring.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Mercedes-Benz C, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's history provided.
