2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · LO65 YSS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While it passed its most recent MOT on 6 June 2026 at 82,816 miles, it failed just three days prior due to a dangerous offside front tyre and worn front brake discs. The recurring nature of the brake disc issues across the last three tests suggests that the owner only addresses braking components when they reach the point of inspection failure, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. There was a significant gap of over 13,000 miles between April 2024 and May 2025, followed by another 13,500 miles covered in the thirteen months leading up to June 2026. This recent spike in usage indicates the car is currently being used regularly, though the historical average suggests periods of standing which can often cause rubber components to perish and brake surfaces to corrode as seen in the records. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension assembly, as the 2025 failure flagged an excessively worn offside front ball joint. The persistent pitting and scoring on the front brake discs across 2024, 2025, and 2026 indicate either poor-quality parts or long periods of inactivity. Additionally, the corrosion on the nearside front bumper mountings noted in 2024 should be checked to ensure structural rust is not advancing into the main bodywork. The recent failure for exposed cords on a tyre further confirms that consumable rubber components may be neglected until they become immediate safety risks.
