2019 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · EB64 EAB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 3 June 2026 at 71,312 miles flagged an advisory for worn front suspension arm pins or bushes. While this did not result in a failure, it marks the beginning of visible wear in the front-end geometry following a period of relatively clean records in early 2024. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical long-term use, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a clear interval of roughly 13,000 miles between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests, and another 14,424 miles recorded between 2025 and 2026. The failure in June 2024 at 43,450 miles due to insufficient tread depth on two tyres suggests that the previous owner neglected basic consumable checks until forced by annual testing intervals. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the worn bushes identified in the 2026 advisory. These components often lead to imprecise steering or uneven handling if not replaced promptly. The history of tyre wear issues, specifically the failure in 2024 and the advisory for the offside rear tyre in 2025, suggests a potential alignment issue that warrants verification to prevent premature tyre degradation. Additionally, while the rear brake pads were noted as thin in 2023, the current state of the braking system should be checked to ensure they were replaced since that entry.
