2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · CF15 NTA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean history to emerging component wear. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 59,407 miles identified specific defects including pitted front brake discs and perishing rear tyres. This marks a departure from the previously flawless records seen between 2018 and 2023, suggesting that the vehicle is now experiencing age-related degradation despite its low annual mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a gap of roughly 5,800 miles between the April 2024 and August 2025 tests. However, the low mileage correlates with the accelerated aging of rubber-based components. The 2024 advisory regarding worn front tyres and the 2025 failure for cracked rear tyres indicate that the rubber compound is likely failing due to time and oxidation rather than heavy tread wear. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The 2021 test flagged play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, and the 2025 report of pitted brake discs suggests the braking system may be prone to corrosion from periods of inactivity or low-frequency use. The inspector must also check for perished bushings and tyre sidew cracks, as these are common in low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary. While the structural integrity of the chassis appears uncompromised based on the lack of corrosion advisories, attention is required on the.
