2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KM65 CCD

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class maintains a generally stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent test on 2025-11-28 at 126,359 miles reveals a recurring pattern of premature tyre wear. The tester flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit with bold outer edges, mirroring advisories from the 2023 test at 111,571 miles. This indicates a persistent issue rather than isolated consumable degradation. The rear registration plate also deteriorated, a minor but noted defect. Overall, the maintenance trend remains stable regarding major mechanical failures, yet the consistent tyre degradation suggests unresolved alignment or suspension geometry issues. Accumulating 126,359 miles over eleven years results in an average of roughly 11,487 miles annually, a typical figure for this age. The MOT records show steady, consistent usage without significant gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation. Between November 2022 and November 2023, the vehicle covered 7,461 miles. The following year, from November 2023 to November 2024, mileage increased to 6,502 miles. The most recent year, from November 2024 to November 2025, saw 8,286 miles added, confirming regular but moderate use. This consistent mileage accumulation supports the expectation of proportional wear on drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer must inspect the wheel arches and suspension components closely. The repeated advisories for tyres worn on the inner and outer edges, appearing on both axles across multiple tests, strongly suggest worn suspension bushes, dampers, or incorrect tracking. The tester flagged rear brake discs as worn, pitted, and scored during the November 2024 failure at 118,073 miles, alongside rear brake pads worn to 95%. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent 2025 test, a physical inspection of the rear braking system is warranted to check for lipping on the discs and uneven pad deposition. Examine the undercarriage for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and suspension mounting points, as structural integrity can degrade under similar conditions that cause premature tyre wear.
