2015 Mercedes-Benz C250 D AMG Line Premium Auto 2.1L Heavy oil · BF65 AAZ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 5 February 2026 with no defects recorded. Looking at the historical data, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with a consistent record of clean passes over the last several years. This suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained and kept in a roadworthy condition without the recurring failures often associated with high-mileage executive saloons. With a recorded mileage of 100,544 miles over an eleven year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,140 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for this class of vehicle and indicates a balanced duty cycle. Such mileage suggests the engine and drivetrain have been used regularly, which is generally preferable to prolonged periods of standing, although it does mean that standard wear-and-tear components are approaching their mid-to-late life cycles. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, a previous advisory from November 2021 noted a slightly deteriorated rear prop shaft flexible coupling. You should verify if this component was replaced, as a worn coupling can lead to drivetrain vibrations or a shuddering sensation during acceleration. During the test drive, pay close attention to any unusual humming or rhythmic vibrations through the chassis, which could indicate the coupling has further degraded or that the universal joints require attention. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, physical inspection should focus on consumables and time-sensitive maintenance. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the firmer AMG Line setup can be more prone to wear over 100,000 miles. Inspect the brake discs for significant lip wear or corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding. Furthermore, verify the service history for evidence of automatic transmission fluid changes and diesel particulate filter health, as these are critical for the long-term reliability of the C250 D powertrain. Finally, examine the tyre sidewalls for any age-related cracking or perishing, regardless of the remaining tread depth.
