2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Hybrid electric · BV19 WSN

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 27,334 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the car consistently meeting minimum legal standards over the last five years. While the most recent test identified a defective offside front tyre due to a developing lump on both sidewalls, the overall lack of mechanical failures or structural defects suggests a well-maintained mechanical history. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per annum. Data shows consistent, incremental growth, moving from 12,817 miles in March 2022 to 27,334 miles in the April 2026 test. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has seen limited use, which typically preserves the drivetrain components and suspension bushings. However, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals or surface corrosion on brake discs if the car has sat stationary for extended durations. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the offside front tyre, as the reported lump indicates internal structural failure likely caused by impact, requiring immediate replacement. The 2023 advisory for a worn offside front tyre at 16,764 miles suggests a previous alignment issue or uneven wear pattern that should be re-checked to prevent further tyre scrubbing. Given the low mileage, verify the brake rotors for surface pitting or seized calipers, as these components can suffer when not used frequently.
