2018 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · FT68 CVE

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is assessed as good , with the most recent MOT (2025-10-15) at 60,102 miles passing without defects. This indicates that the mechanical condition has remained stable since the 2025 test, with no evidence of accelerating wear patterns suggesting a deteriorating trend. The lack of defects in the 2024, 2023, and 2021 tests confirms that the vehicle has not accumulated significant new damage since its initial registration. The mileage profile supports a consistent pattern of use, averaging approximately 7,500 miles annually. The absence of gaps or rapid mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has been maintained with appropriate care, and any wear on consumables like brake pads or suspension bushings has been addressed during the last inspection. While the specific mileage figures for the 2023 and 2021 tests are available, the absence of defects in those years indicates that the vehicle has not experienced catastrophic failures or severe structural damage since then. Given the lack of recurring faults and the stable mileage trend, the primary concern is the condition of the most recent inspection, specifically the thin brake pads noted in the 2025 test. The buyer should inspect the suspension, brakes, and wheel bearings for binding calipers or corrosion, as these components are critical for the vehicle's safety. A thorough visual and tactile check is required to confirm that the brakes and suspension have not deteriorated to unsafe levels, ensuring the vehicle remains roadworthy for safe operation.
