2020 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · EY70 BLJ

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 April 2026 at 16,221 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just two miles prior at 16,219 miles. Given that no defects were listed on the failure report, this likely represents an administrative error or a minor sensor issue rectified immediately, rather than a mechanical or structural deficiency. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per annum. Data shows a significant gap between the August 2023 test at 5,103 miles and the April 2024 test at 6,485 miles, followed by more consistent use of nearly 5,000 miles between 2024 and 2026. This usage suggests the car has been used for short trips or has sat stationary for extended periods, which can place different types of stress on components compared to high-mileage motorway driving. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories, a buyer must inspect for specific risks associated with low-mileage use. Long periods of standing can lead to surface corrosion on brake discs and seized caliper pistons despite low pad wear. You should also check the rubber components in the suspension and bushings for cracking, as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Verify that the service history matches these annual intervals to ensure oil and fluid degradation has been managed.
