2019 Mercedes-Benz C 4.0L Petrol · AF69 WGY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on September 5 2025 at 14,313 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure due to thin rear brake pads and significant tyre damage. The recurring nature of brake wear across 2024 and 2025 suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical components when they reach the point of inspection failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,045 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 2,419 miles between the October 2023 test and the September 2024 test, and another 1,795 miles before the 2025 inspection. This low usage often implies the car sits stationary for long periods, which can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components, flat-spotting tyres, and internal corrosion on brake discs or calipers, despite the lack of mileage-based wear on the odometer. A buyer must personally inspect the tyres thoroughly, as the record shows repeated cuts reaching the cords on the offside front and nearside rear tyres. These defects indicate physical damage from road hazards rather than simple wear. The consistent flagging of thin front and rear pads in both 2024 and 2025 indicates that the braking system is being neglected between service intervals. You should check for pitting or rust on the brake discs, which is common in low-mileage vehicles that are infrequently used.
