2020 Mercedes-Benz C 1.9L Diesel · CK20 FSY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in May 2026 at 68,520 miles shows the car passing with both front tyres reaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a pattern established over the previous two years where the owner consistently manages to address consumable components only when they trigger an MOT advisory rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual-use patterns, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 33,990 miles and May 2024 at 46,048 miles, the car covered roughly 12,000 miles. The subsequent interval between May 2024 and May 2025 saw a further 11,212 miles. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which places predictable stress on the Mercedes-Benz suspension components and braking system. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and alignment specifically, as the recurring advisories for tyres being worn on the edges across 2024, 2025, and 2026 indicate potential misalignment or worn control arm bushes. The 2024 advisory regarding pitted and scored rear brake discs suggests the braking system may be prone to corrosion during periods of lower use. Given the recent failure of the front tyres, a thorough physical check of the current brake pad thickness and the condition of the front rotors is necessary to ensure no further mechanical neglect has occurred.
