2019 Mercedes C 1.5L Hybrid electric · LJ19 CJA

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on its consistently clean MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 September 2025 at 20,753 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that the mechanical and safety components are currently operating within manufacturer parameters without failure. The data reveals a significant discrepancy in mileage recording between the last two test dates. In September 2024, the vehicle was recorded at 30,631 miles, yet the test in September 2025 showed a much lower reading of 20,753 miles. This reverse progression suggests a clerical entry error on the DVSA database that requires manual verification against the physical odometer. Despite this anomaly, the average usage of approximately 3,000 miles per year is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old Mercedes, suggesting the car has spent significant periods of time stationary. Given the clean record and low annual mileage, a buyer should focus on the risks associated with long periods of inactivity. Low-use vehicles often suffer from the degradation of rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, or potential surface corrosion on brake discs due to lack of use. A physical inspection should verify the actual mileage, ensure the brake calipers have not seized, and check for fluid leaks or signs of perished hoses that a MOT might not detect.
