2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · FV15 ABF

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent pass on 6 April 2024 at 96,515 miles with no defects recorded. The prior test on 28 March 2024 at 96,118 miles failed under DVSA procedure yet listed no defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical refusal rather than a fault-driven failure. Across the five recorded tests from March 2021 to April 2024, the car cleared every examination with no advisories or reported wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 8,774 miles per year for an eleven-year-old 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The record shows 51,378 miles in March 2021, rising to 62,563 by March 2022, 76,357 by April 2023, and 96,515 by April 2024. The final year delivered roughly 20,000 miles, nearly double the prior annual average, suggesting heavier use in the period before sale. No long standing gaps appear, though the clean sheet across all entries means consumable wear such as tyres, wiper blades, and corrosion were either absent or below test thresholds at each appointment. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension arms, coil springs, and subframe for corrosion given the car's age and the elevated final-year mileage. The unexplained fail with zero defects warrants confirmation that no outstanding recall or documentation issue remains open with the DVLA. Brake calipers and discs should be measured for uneven wear from the increased 2023 to 2024 usage, and the exhaust system checked for internal degradation not visible at test. The absence of advisories across four passes implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the sparse defect history offers little insight into component life remaining at 96,515 miles. Treat the clean MOT as a baseline, not a guarantee, and verify service records alongside a physical underside check before purchase.
