2018 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · LM68 XOG

The vehicle presents in sound mechanical condition as of its most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 48,939 miles, where it passed with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. Earlier tests flagged repeated tyre wear advisories, but the March 2026 result shows those issues have been fully resolved, suggesting attentive upkeep in the last year. The mileage progression is steady and unremarkable, averaging roughly 6,117 miles per year across its eight-year life. The record shows a consistent annual test cycle with no gaps in the MOT schedule. Mileage climbed from 29,499 miles in May 2022 to 48,939 miles by March 2026, indicating regular daily use rather than prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage accumulation. This is a well-documented service history with no anomalies. A recurring pattern of uneven tyre wear stands out across multiple tests. In April 2024 at 37,916 miles, both rear tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge. The April 2023 test at 33,145 miles flagged the same issue on both front tyres. Edge wear on tyres at both axles over successive years points to possible misaligned tracking, worn suspension bushes, or deteriorating shock absorbers causing uneven load distribution. The fact that no tyre defects appeared in the 2025 or 2026 tests suggests the issue may have been addressed, but a buyer should still have the wheel alignment and suspension components inspected in person. Check the inner and outer sidewalls of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, and examine the front and rear suspension for play in the bushes, drop links, and anti-roll bar links. Given the clean recent result, there are no immediate structural or corrosion concerns to flag, but a physical underbody inspection remains prudent on any vehicle of this age.
