2018 Mercedes-Benz C 1.9L Diesel · LP68 RKV

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class shows a stable maintenance trend following a period of neglect. While the vehicle failed its MOT in early 2024 due to significant brake wear and headlamp alignment issues, the subsequent two passes in late 2024 and late 2025 were clean, suggesting that the previous owner addressed these mechanical shortcomings effectively. The mileage of 86,305 is typical for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,788 miles per year. This consistent usage suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than left standing, which is generally positive for seals and battery health. However, the recurring history of brake disc and pad wear indicates that the vehicle is subject to standard heavy-use wear typical of a premium saloon, likely involving motorway or city commuting. The primary risk pattern identified in the history is the accelerated wear of braking components. Given the previous advisories regarding pitted and corroded discs, you should verify if the discs were replaced or merely cleaned during the last service interval. The 2023 history also flagged uneven tyre wear, which can sometimes point to alignment issues or suspension component fatigue. Your first priority when inspecting this vehicle should be a thorough physical check of the brake discs and pads on all four corners. Look for signs of heavy scoring or inner-face corrosion, as these were specific points of failure in the past.
