2018 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · LM68 XOU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, with the latest MOT on 14 October 2025 at 57,446 miles recording a pass. The only noted defect was front tyre tread approaching the legal limit, which suggests normal consumable wear rather than a systemic fault. Across five consecutive annual tests the car has consistently met the statutory standards, indicating a stable maintenance pattern. Mileage has risen from 46,076 miles in October 2021 to 57,446 miles in October 2025, an average of roughly 7,200 miles per year. The incremental increases – 3,654 miles between 2021 and 2022, then 2,339, 2,967 and 2,410 miles respectively – show no abrupt spikes that would point to periods of intensive use. The mileage is typical for an eight‑year‑old Mercedes‑Benz C‑Class and does not raise concerns about accelerated wear on major components. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front tyres, confirming that tread depth exceeds the minimum and that sidewalls are free from cracks or bulges. Inspection of the suspension should include checking the condition of the bushings and coil springs for any signs of fatigue or corrosion, given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and pads merit close examination for uneven wear or glazing, especially as the front tyres were flagged in the most recent test. A visual survey of the under‑carriage for rust, the exhaust system for leaks, and the overall structural integrity of the chassis will complete a thorough assessment before purchase.
