2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Hybrid electric · KV19 MTS

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive upkeep regarding consumables. The most recent test in January 2026 at 58,126 miles passed despite advisories for perishing and cracking on both nearside and offside front tyres. This indicates that while the mechanical components remain functional, the rubber components are reaching the end of their service life due to age rather than wear, despite the relatively low mileage. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles annually. There was a significant jump in usage between February 2022 at 14,872 miles and January 2024 at 37,700 miles, representing over 22,000 miles in two years. Since then, the vehicle has covered another 20,426 miles over two years. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing which prevents seal degradation and excessive corrosion in the drivetrain and braking systems. A buyer should inspect the current condition of all tyres specifically, as the 2024 test flagged rear tyres as being close to the legal limit and the 2026 test highlighted front tyre perishing. The previous failure of a streaking wiper blade in 2024 suggests that minor items are sometimes only addressed when they fail inspection. Since no structural corrosion or brake-related failures have been recorded in the history, the focus should remain on verifying the state of the suspension bushes and checking for uneven tyre wear that might indicate alignment issues not captured by the MOT tester.
