2018 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · V15 WAS

The vehicle maintains a high roadworthiness status, reflecting a consistent history of clean passes across its lifetime. The most recent test conducted on 21 October 2025 at 18,093 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met DVSA safety and emission standards without mechanical or structural failures being flagged over the last five years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,262 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 12,486 miles and October 2025 at 18,093 miles, the car covered only 5,607 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly, which typically results in minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system. While this reduces the risk of mechanical fatigue, it also increases the likelihood of degradation in rubber-based components if the car sat stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. A buyer must check for flat-spotting on tyres and signs of corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, which can occur from lack of use. The inspector should also examine the suspension bushes for cracking or perished, as these materials age over time regardless of the distance driven. The absence of structural rust suggests a well-preserved chassis, but the low mileage necessitates a close look at fluid freshness and seal integrity to ensure nothing has degraded due to inactivity.
