2018 Mercedes-Benz C 3.0L Petrol · D4 LEE

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on July 22, 2025 at 33,215 miles passed with only a minor consumable advisory regarding a nail in the nearside rear tyre. This follows a period of clean passes without recorded defects, indicating that the car has maintained its integrity without significant mechanical or structural failures over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,152 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between November 2022 and January 2024, where the car covered only 2,496 miles in fourteen months. However, the interval between January 2024 and July 2025 shows slightly more active use with 6,138 miles covered in eighteen months. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has undergone minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the risk risk of rubber-based components degrading from sitting stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage de-lamination. Despite the lack of recorded failures, the tester should check for brake corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust on the brake discs. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or dry rot, which frequently occurs based on age rather than tread depth. The history suggests a well-cared-for example that has not been subjected to heavy stress or high-frequency commuting.
