2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · KV15 FUH

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean pass recorded on 25 February 2025 at 104,729 miles with zero defects. This outcome is significant given the recurring mechanical advisories documented in previous years. The tester flagged worn and pitted brake discs across multiple tests, yet the most recent entry confirms these components have been rectified. The vehicle currently sits well within its valid MOT period, though buyers should note the certificate expires imminently on 24 February 2027, making a fresh inspection prudent before purchase. The mileage accumulation of roughly 9,521 miles per year sits squarely within typical parameters for an eleven-year-old executive saloon. The record shows consistent annual testing every February, with no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in usage that might suggest long-term standing or neglect. The odometer advanced 9,873 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, indicating steady recent use rather than a vehicle that has been sitting idle. This regular usage pattern is generally favourable, as prolonged inactivity can cause its own issues with seized brakes, perished rubber, and fuel system degradation. The MOT history reveals a clear pattern of brake disc wear that persisted across at least three consecutive annual tests. In February 2021, the tester noted a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, suggesting basic consumable upkeep may have been overlooked at that point. By February 2023, both front and rear brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored, and the February 2022 test had already identified worn discs across all four wheels. This recurring fault pattern points to a period where braking components were deteriorating faster than expected, possibly due to driving style or environmental factors such as corrosion from short trips. The clean 2025 result indicates replacement has since occurred, but a buyer should verify the quality of the fitted discs and pads and check for uneven wear that might suggest a sticking caliper or seized slide pin. Beyond the braking system, the February 2024 advisory regarding a child seat fitted to the offside rear position preventing full inspection of the adult seatbelt is worth noting. While minor in isolation, it highlights that certain safety-critical components may not have been visually verified during that test. A prospective buyer should physically inspect all seatbelt webbing for fraying, check the anchorage points for corrosion beneath the trim, and examine the underside of the vehicle for structural rust, particularly around suspension mounting points and subframes. The windscreen stone chip noted in 2023 has presumably been repaired or the screen replaced, but confirming this in person remains worthwhile to avoid future MOT failure.
