2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · KV19 TMP

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 25 June 2026 at 48,674 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the immediate failure recorded on the same day at 48,666 miles indicates a lapse in basic consumable maintenance. The tester flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres for having tread depths below the legal 1.6mm requirement. This failure follows a similar advisory in the July 2022 test at 19,653 miles regarding rear tyre wear. This recurring issue suggests a pattern of neglecting tyre replacement until the point of legal failure. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage profile for a 2019 vehicle. The car has covered 48,674 miles over approximately seven years, averaging roughly 6,953 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression from 19,653 miles in July 2022 to 37,082 miles in July 2025, and finally reaching 48,674 miles in June 2026. This incremental increase suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden heavy-duty mileage spikes. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the rear tyres and the underlying causes of their uneven wear. The repeated mentions of rear tyre issues in 2022 and 2026 warrant a physical inspection of the rear suspension components, specifically the bushes and shock absorbers, to ensure no alignment issues are causing premature or uneven scrubbing. Although the MOT history is largely clean regarding structural integrity and braking systems, the tendency to run consumables to the legal limit implies that other maintenance items, such as brake pads or wiper blades, may also be subject to similar neglect.
