2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · EO15 GUX

A history of tyre-related advisories and brake component wear defines the mechanical profile of this Mercedes-Benz C-Class, though the most recent tests on 20 August 2025 and 30 August 2024 show no recorded defects. While the vehicle has moved into a period of clean results, previous inspections between 2019 and 2023 frequently flagged tyre deterioration, including sidewall cuts, age-related concerns, and tread depth approaching legal limits. There was also a recorded failure in August 2022 due to a non-functional rear fog lamp, alongside advisories regarding pitted or scored brake discs and a fault with the tyre pressure monitoring system. The vehicle has covered 109,351 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 9,941 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving cycles for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-speed motorway use, it has undergone sufficient regular operation to necessitate the replacement of consumables such as tyres and brake discs, as evidenced by the recurring advisories in the historical records. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. Given the previous advisories for pitted and worn front and rear brake discs, a test drive should be used to check for any pedal judder or pulsations under braking, which could indicate disc warping or uneven surface wear. Furthermore, the history of tyre-related issues, including sidewall damage and uneven wear on the edges, warrants a thorough visual check of the current tread patterns. Look for any signs of uneven wear that might suggest underlying suspension geometry issues or worn bushes. The previous advisory regarding the tyre pressure monitoring system fault should also be verified to ensure the system is currently communicating correctly with the dashboard. While the recent MOT results are clear, the historical pattern of tyre and brake component wear means the buyer should confirm that all recent maintenance has addressed the specific items flagged in 2021 and 2023. Ensure there are no unusual knocking sounds from the suspension or steering when navigating uneven surfaces, as this would complement a check of the tyre wear patterns noted in earlier tests.
