2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · EG15 MFN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-09-08 , at 157,000 miles , confirms a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the past five tests, all conducted within the standard annual cycle—no late or overdue MOTs suggest consistent compliance with legal requirements. The absence of recurring advisories or failings implies that major systems—brakes, suspension, exhaust, and emissions—have not been subject to repeated issues. However, the lack of any recorded faults does not preclude hidden wear, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 161,939 miles at the time of this evaluation indicates 14,722 miles per year , a rate significantly higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The most recent MOT in 2025-09-08 was conducted at 157,000 miles , meaning 4,939 miles were accumulated since then—an average of 1,646 miles per month . While this suggests active use, the rapid mileage accumulation may accelerate wear on consumable components like tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes. The gap between the 2022-09-21 and 2022-07-12 tests—just 89 days apart —is unusual and could imply either a rushed MOT or a temporary spike in usage, though neither is directly problematic unless paired with other irregularities. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear bushes and coil springs , which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brake system —including discs, pads, and calipers—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Exhaust integrity and underbody corrosion are also critical, as the vehicle’s age increases the risk of structural weakening. While the MOT record does not reveal any advisories, tyre condition —including tread depth and lateral cuts—should be verified, as failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been inconsistent. Finally, the engine bay and transmission should be inspected for leaks or unusual wear, as these are often silent failures that do not appear on MOT records.
