2015 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Diesel · BJ65 WDM

This Mercedes-Benz C has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record over its most recent MOT cycles, with the last test on 24 December 2024 confirming no defects and a clean pass. The absence of advisories or failings across four consecutive tests—spanning September 2021 to December 2024—suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline level, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The most recent test, just under eight months ago, aligns with the standard three-year MOT cycle, indicating the vehicle has not been driven excessively since then. However, the lack of any recorded issues does not guarantee current condition, particularly for components like suspension bushes or coil springs, which may degrade without visible external signs. The recorded mileage of 99,437 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of around 9,040 miles annually, a figure typical for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, suggesting the vehicle has not been left unused for prolonged periods nor subjected to aggressive driving. The steady accumulation implies gradual wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades, though the MOT history does not reveal whether these have been replaced between tests. Without service records, it is impossible to confirm whether scheduled maintenance—such as fluid changes or timing belt inspections—has been adhered to. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely checked during MOTs. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of rear coil springs and bushes, which may exhibit fatigue or corrosion over 99,000 miles. Binding or uneven brake calipers, particularly on the rear, should be tested for proper function, as this is a common area for gradual deterioration. Examine the exhaust system for signs of leaks or structural weakness, especially around flanges, and check for corrosion at wheel arches or sills, which can compromise structural integrity. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be scrutinised, as the absence of MOT failings does not guarantee they have been replaced in a timely manner.
