2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.9L Diesel · 4 RJK

A history of intermittent tyre and brake wear defines the roadworthiness of this vehicle, despite a clean pass on 14 October 2025. The record is characterized by a significant failure in October 2023 involving dangerous tread depth on both rear tyres and edge wear on the fronts, followed by an advisory for thin offside rear brake pads in September 2024. The trajectory of the records suggests a return to a defect-free status in the most recent inspection. The odometer shows 40,669 miles, which averages to approximately 5,810 miles per year over the vehicle's seven-year lifespan. This low annual mileage indicates a usage pattern of lighter-than-average duty. From a mechanical perspective, such low accumulation typically results in less wear on the engine and drivetrain, although it can also mean components have remained static for extended periods. Inspection should focus on the tyres and braking system given the previous recorded defects. While the most recent test was clean, the 2023 failure for dangerous tread depth and the specific mention of inner and outer edge wear on the front tyres suggest a potential for alignment issues. During a test drive, the vehicle should be monitored for any steering pull or abnormal road noise that could indicate uneven tyre wear or remaining alignment inaccuracies. Attention should also be paid to the rear braking system following the 2024 advisory regarding thin offside rear brake pads. A prospective buyer should feel for any pedal judder or listen for grinding noises during deceleration to ensure the pads have been replaced and the calipers are not binding. Verifying that the current tyre tread is consistent across all four corners will confirm that the dangerous wear patterns identified in 2023 have been fully rectified.
