2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Hybrid electric · AF69 HDA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive component replacement. The most recent test on October 14, 2025 at 46,010 miles identified an advisory for rear inner brake pads being worn thin. This follows two years of clean records in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that while the vehicle was previously maintained, consumables are now reaching the end of their interval. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its seven-year life. Between the August 2022 test at 23,466 miles and the October 2024 test at 41,588 miles, the car covered 18,122 miles, indicating a steady but moderate usage during that period. This low annual mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to minor corrosion or seizing if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system due to the thin rear pads flagged in 2025. The 2022 advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn shock absorber that should be verified to ensure it does not become a recurring fault. Additionally, check the suspension bushes and rubber components for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from age degradation regardless of the low distance recorded on the odometer.
