2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · BA13 BAS

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until April 2027, reflecting a stable maintenance trend where the owner consistently addresses major failures before retesting. While the most recent April 2026 test at 214,828 miles resulted in a pass, the advisory notes regarding uneven tyre wear on the front axle suggest an underlying issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that requires immediate attention to prevent premature tyre replacement. Accumulating over 214,000 miles in eleven years indicates this vehicle has been used primarily for high-speed motorway travel, averaging nearly 20,000 miles annually. The mileage progression remains remarkably consistent across the recorded history, jumping from 127,106 miles in early 2023 to its current figure in just over three years. This rapid usage pattern places significant stress on drivetrain components, meaning the transmission and engine ancillaries have likely endured substantial thermal cycling compared to lower-mileage examples. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The recurring advisories regarding worn brake discs and the 2025 note concerning rear sub-frame bush wear indicate that the chassis components are nearing the end of their service life. Given the high mileage, check for any clunking noises from the rear end during a test drive, as sub-frame bush degradation often leads to imprecise handling and increased tyre wear. Verify the condition of the tyre pressure monitoring system, as its prior failure suggests potential electrical or sensor-related issues that could recur. Prioritise a professional alignment check to resolve the uneven tyre wear noted in the latest test, as this will protect your investment in new rubber.
