2018 Mercedes-Benz C 1.9L Diesel · BF68 MSV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 64 538 miles recorded a pass with a single advisory on the front brake disc being worn, pitted or scored (1.1.14 (a)(ii)). The maintenance trend shows improvement: after a failure on 30 August 2024 that flagged both rear disc wear and lining thickness, the subsequent test in August 2024 passed cleanly, and the latest inspection only notes a minor consumable issue rather than structural fault. The pattern indicates the brake system is being addressed but still requires attention. Mileage accumulation over the car’s eight‑year life totals 64 538 miles, averaging roughly 8 067 miles per year, which is typical for a 2018 model. The log shows steady progression: from 25 813 miles in August 2021 to 32 741 miles in November 2022 (≈6 928 miles in 15 months), then to 52 477 miles in August 2024 (≈19 736 miles in 22 months), and finally to 64 538 miles in October 2025 (≈12 061 miles in 14 months). The intervals are consistent, with no abrupt jumps, and the MOT records are fairly complete, providing a reliable service narrative. A prospective buyer should inspect the brake system closely. The front disc wear noted in 2025 warrants a visual check for scoring and thickness, while the rear disc and lining issues from August 2024 suggest a thorough examination of those components for uneven wear or thinning. Suspension bushes and shock absorber mounts should be inspected for corrosion or excessive play, as the vehicle has not shown any recent suspension advisories. The windscreen damage logged in 2021 remains an advisory; the glass and frame should be examined for any further cracking or rust around the perimeter. Finally, a walk‑around for body corrosion, exhaust condition, and tyre tread depth will confirm the overall state of the car beyond the documented faults.
