2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · 3 DCB

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class presents a stable mechanical condition, culminating in a clean pass on 12 November 2025 at 37,667 miles with zero defects. The maintenance trend remains largely consistent, though a minor defect regarding tyre wear appeared and was subsequently resolved. The most recent test confirms the vehicle currently meets all roadworthiness standards, reflecting a well-maintained unit over its seven-year lifespan. The recorded mileage indicates low annual usage of approximately 5,381 miles per year. A significant anomaly exists in the DVSA record for 26 April 2024, which lists an impossible 47,762 miles given the 20,886 miles recorded in May 2023 and the 32,924 miles recorded in November 2024. This clerical error likely stems from a typo at the testing station. Disregarding this outlier, the mileage progression from 16,656 miles in May 2022 to 37,667 miles in November 2025 suggests light, regular use rather than prolonged standing, which benefits suspension and drivetrain components by avoiding moisture build-up and seizing. Despite the clean recent test, the November 2024 test at 32,924 miles flagged both rear tyres worn close to the legal limit and exhibiting edge wear. Edge wear typically points to suspension geometry deviations or chronic under-inflation rather than simple neglect. A buyer should thoroughly inspect the rear suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and track rod ends for play, as well as checking the inner sidewalls of the current tyres for uneven degradation. Inspect the brake discs and pads for lipping, given the low mileage can lead to surface corrosion from standing. Verify the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion and ensure all dashboard warning lights extinguish upon startup, as the clean MOT history leaves little else to scrutinise structurally.
