2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · KX68 AAS

This vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 July 2026 at 22,395 miles with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend is stable, though the record shows a slight increase in minor mechanical advisories over the last two years. The mileage is exceptionally low for a seven year old car, averaging roughly 3,199 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained consistent, such as the 2,737 mile increase between January 2024 and December 2024. This low usage pattern suggests the car has not been subject to heavy wear, but it can often lead to the perishing of rubber components due to inactivity. The MOT history confirms this risk of age-related degradation. The tester flagged a damaged and perishing offside front tyre in December 2024 at 18,266 miles. More recently, the December 2025 test at 21,369 miles identified slight play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. While the July 2026 test was clean, these two entries indicate a trend of wear on the front near-side suspension and tyre carcasses. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes and ball joints to ensure the previously noted play was rectified rather than just ignored. Given the low mileage and the previous tyre advisory, a thorough check of all four tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots is necessary. The lack of structural corrosion or brake binding in the records is positive, but the low annual mileage means the buyer should verify that the brake fluid and other perishable fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's time intervals rather than mileage.
