2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · S1 WLN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the first signs of mechanical wear with age. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 49,918 miles identified an offside front lower suspension arm ball joint with slight play. While the vehicle passed despite this finding, it indicates that the front suspension components are beginning to degrade, marking a shift from the clean records seen in the 2024 tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-average vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. There is a notable period of activity in August 2024, where the car covered over 1,000 miles between two tests, resulting in a failure for high headlamp aim followed by an immediate pass. Since the September 2025 test, the vehicle has covered no recorded mileage according to the data until the current date. This suggests a stable, low-usage profile, which generally mitigates the stress on the drivetrain and high-frequency wear items. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension during a physical viewing to assess the extent of the play in the offside ball joint. This component requires attention to prevent it affecting steering precision or causing uneven tyre wear. Additionally, ensure the headlamp alignment remains correct as the previous failure in 2024 suggests sensitivity in adjustment. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake failures in the history, the primary focus should remain on rubber bushes and bushings that naturally perish over seven years regardless of low mileage.
