2015 Mercedes-Benz V 2.1L Diesel · KC15 DHD

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status, holding a clean pass certificate dated 6 August 2025 at 125,281 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend over the past three years is broadly stable, though it reveals a pattern of intermittent component failures rather than consistent preventative upkeep. The most recent failure on 5 August 2025 involved a significantly weakened offside front seat belt webbing, a cut exceeding 2 millimetres from the edge. This is a critical safety item. The subsequent pass the following day confirms the belt was repaired or replaced, but the nature of the damage suggests the webbing was subjected to a sharp impact or snag, warranting a close visual check of the anchor points and retraction mechanism. The annual mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent, moving from 93,570 miles in August 2023 to 107,971 miles in August 2024, and reaching 125,281 miles by August 2025. This equates to roughly 17,000 miles per year over the last two years, which is slightly above the typical 11,389 miles per year average calculated over the vehicle's full eleven-year life. There is no evidence of long-term standing or mileage rollback. The MOT record is sparse, with only three tests logged in the last three years, but the mileage progression is logical and linear. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and structural integrity. The 2024 failure flagged an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint. While this was rectified for the 2024 pass, the offside equivalent and the lower suspension bushes must be checked for play and perishing, as uneven wear is common on vehicles of this age and mileage. The front subframe and inner wing mounts should be inspected for corrosion, a frequent issue on models of this era. The seat belt incident is also a red flag. Inspect the entire length of the offside front webbing for further fraying and test the inertia reel for smooth retraction and immediate locking under a sharp pull.
