2010 Mercedes-Benz C 1.8L Petrol · KW10 MFO

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, having maintained a stable MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test in December 2025 at 105,679 miles resulted in a pass, though it highlighted an advisory for an offside rear tyre worn near the legal limit and unevenly. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically legal to road, consumable maintenance is beginning to require attention to prevent future failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between October 2021 and December 2025, the car covered 17,046 miles, showing a steady low-intensity usage profile rather than long periods of neglect or heavy commuting. The intervals between tests are regular, suggesting the owner followed a standard annual testing schedule, which generally correlates with better preservation of rubber components and fluid systems that degrade over time regardless of mileage-based wear. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension and engine bay areas identified in previous records. The 2023 test at 96,581 miles flagged a front oil leak and a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. A buyer must verify if the oil leak has remained minor or worsened and check all remaining rubber boots for signs of cracking or grease leakage. Given the uneven tyre wear noted in December 2025, a professional alignment check is necessary to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing premature degradation of new tyres.
