2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Hybrid electric · KO19 PUF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 9 2026 at 70,485 miles. However, the maintenance trend reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test resulted in a failure due to critical tyre defects, specifically a nearside front tyre reaching the cords and both front tyres exhibiting excessive outer edge wear. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the history suggests the owner only addresses safety components once they fail a formal inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging 10,000 miles per annum. Between the tests at 41,250 miles in April 2023 and 70,485 miles in April 2026, the car covered 29,200 miles. This steady rate suggests regular use which generally helps prevent component degradation associated with long periods of standing, yet the recurring tyre failures across multiple years indicate that the vehicle's alignment or suspension may be neglected between service intervals. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and wheel geometry. The repeated reports of hard outer edge wear on tyres in 2024 and 2026 point toward potential alignment issues, worn suspension bushes, or failing control arm components. Additionally, the 2023 record noted rear brake pads at a dangerously low 2-3mm, which confirms a history of delaying essential consumable replacements. You should verify the current state of the brake discs and pads to ensure no glazing or scoring has occurred due to the previous low-level conditions.
