2015 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Petrol · 5555 DG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 8 June 2026 at 38,792 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a significant failure in June 2024. While the 2025 test was entirely clean, the most recent inspection flagged a new defect regarding a damaged nearside front tyre sidewall, suggesting that while major mechanical issues are absent, basic consumable upkeep remains a point of ongoing attention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent but low-usage patterns, moving from 30,064 miles in May 2023 to 38,792 miles in June 2026. This low mileage typically indicates less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the likelihood of rubber component degradation due to age. The 2024 failure confirms this risk, as several tyres showed signs of cracking and perished despite the low distance driven. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of all tyres, as the 2024 record highlighted multiple issues including perishing, sidewall damage, and uneven wear on the edges. The TPMS light noted in 2024 should also be verified to ensure the sensor system is functional and the fault was rectified. Given the low annual mileage, a close look for dry rot or surface corrosion on the suspension bushes and brake discs is essential, as these components can deteriorate over time when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods.
