2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LR69 YEU

The Mercedes-Benz demonstrates an acceptable overall roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on September 11, 2025, at 52,171 miles following the prompt rectification of a missing front wheel bolt during the same test session. Previous annual inspections reflect a clean bill of health, with straightforward passes recorded on September 10, 2024, at 39,808 miles and September 28, 2023, at 29,347 miles. The sole prior intervention occurred on September 29, 2022, at 25,080 miles, when both rear tyres required replacement due to edge wear and sidewall cracking. This history indicates that previous owners addressed major consumable replacement promptly, keeping structural and mechanical deterioration at bay. Mileage accumulation follows a consistent and predictable trajectory across the vehicle's seven-year operational life, averaging roughly 7,453 miles annually. The odometer progressed logically from 25,080 miles in late 2022 to 39,808 miles by late 2024, before reaching the current reading of 52,171 miles in September 2025. This steady usage pattern avoids the mechanical risks associated with prolonged periods of standing or severe high-mileage commercial fatigue. The ten-month gap since the last test means a fresh MOT will be required shortly after purchase, but the historical pace suggests regular, moderate deployment rather than abusive fleet operation. Inspection during a physical viewing should focus on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the rising mileage places the car squarely into the window for heavy consumable replacement. Buyers must scrutinize the alloy wheels and suspension components for any residual damage linked to the missing wheel bolt noted in the 2025 test, ensuring the hub threads and mating surfaces escaped distortion. Checking the inner shoulders of all four tyres remains essential given the 2022 advisory history for uneven edge wear and cracking, which can point toward underlying wheel alignment drift.
