2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C2.1L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 2025‑09‑03 recorded a pass at 21,092 miles with no defects. The preceding 2024‑08‑15 test flagged thin rear brake pads on both nearside and offside, yet the latest inspection shows those items resolved, indicating a stable to improving maintenance trend. No structural or major mechanical faults appear in the record, and the car has not accumulated any new advisories since the 2024 brake pad warning. Mileage progression shows a low‑use pattern typical for a nine‑year‑old car. Between August 2022 and September 2025 the odometer moved from roughly 14,000 to 21,100 miles, averaging about 2,600 miles per year. The gap between the August 2022 and August 2023 tests added 1,760 miles, while the next year added 2,150 miles and the following year added 3,090 miles, demonstrating consistent, modest usage rather than rapid accumulation. The MOTs are spaced roughly annually, so the data set is regular and free of long gaps. A buyer should inspect the brake system closely, checking rear pad thickness and listening for any caliper binding, as the 2024 warning suggests wear that could recur. Tyre condition is equally critical; the 2022 failure exposed ply/cords on both front and rear nearside tyres, so verify tread depth and look for any cracks or bulges on all four tyres. Additionally, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or excessive play, and assess the exhaust and under‑body for rust, given the low‑mileage but high‑age context. These targeted checks will confirm whether the documented low‑mileage care has been maintained or if hidden wear exists.
