Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the current state of the front tyres. The August 2026 MOT noted they were worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, which may suggest a need for new tyres and a wheel alignment check. Use this as a point for negotiation or request that the tyres are replaced before purchase.
Given the diesel engine and the recorded annual mileage of approximately 7,100 miles, ensure the service history confirms regular oil changes. Low-mileage diesel cars can sometimes face issues with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clogging if they are used primarily for short urban trips; check for any warning lights or evidence of long-distance regeneration runs in the history.
The 1950cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, though it will fall into a higher tax bracket than smaller petrol alternatives. Insurance costs for the C-Class are typically moderate, reflecting its status as a premium executive vehicle.
Annual maintenance for this model generally includes standard servicing and the replacement of wear-and-tear items. Based on the fuel type, tax band, and typical insurance group, the estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,400-£1,800.
Prioritise an inspection of the front tyres, as the 2026 MOT specifically flagged them as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This is a common point of failure for this model according to aggregate data, and it is currently an active advisory on this vehicle.
Additionally, check the suspension arms and headlamps. While this specific car has not failed on these items, they are listed as top failure reasons across the 416,682 vehicles analysed for this model. Check for any knocks or vibrations during a test drive that could indicate suspension wear.
This 2018 black Mercedes-Benz C-Class has recorded 55,295 miles over nearly eight years, which is slightly below the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history is notably consistent, with five consecutive passes and no defects recorded between 2022 and 2025. The most recent test in August 2026 passed, although it highlighted emerging wear on the front tyres.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class shows a respectable average MOT pass rate of 82.4% across a large dataset of over 416,000 vehicles.
