MERCEDES-BENZ C2015 · 2.1L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 104,848 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test recorded no defects, a failure just ten miles prior to that pass revealed an excessive engine oil leak and an inoperative malfunction indication light. This suggests the owner only addressed significant mechanical faults when forced by a test failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with 7,270 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 4,034 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This regular interval is generally positive for preventing seals from drying out, though the total mileage puts the drivetrain and rubber components at a higher age-related risk. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the engine bay to ensure the excessive oil leak flagged in November 2025 has been professionally rectified and not merely masked. The failure in November 2024 highlights a disregard for basic safety consumables, as all four tyres were at or below legal limits, and mismatched tyres were fitted on the nearside rear axle. This indicates a history of neglect that could affect handling and stability. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for uneven wear, as the previous edge tyre wear often signals alignment issues or worn suspension components that remain unaddressed in the record.
