2018 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · LM68 XOR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 96,959 miles showed a pass, yet it noted worn brake discs on both rear axles. This follows a pattern established in late 2024 where the car failed initially due to critically low tyre tread, suggesting that components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At nearly 97,000 miles over eight years, this Mercedes has averaged approximately 12,100 miles per year, which places significant demand on high-mile wear items. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with a notable 10,000-mile interval between December 2023 and December 2024. While the vehicle had a clean test at 63,298 miles in 2022, the subsequent years of recurring brake and tyre issues indicate the car is now entering a phase where heavy-duty components require more frequent attention. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension. The recurring advisories for worn brake discs across 2024 and 2025 suggest the rotors may be thinning rapidly or the calipers may be applying uneven pressure. Furthermore, the repeated mentions of tyres worn on the edges in 2023 and 2024 point toward potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushings. Checking for uneven tyre wear and steering rack play is essential to ensure the high mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the front end.
