Our Verdict

This 2015 Mercedes-Benz C presents significant risks due to repeated MOT failures, despite its relatively clean service history. Exercise caution and conduct a thorough independent inspection before purchasing.

Prioritise a full independent mechanical inspection, focusing on the diesel engine and emissions systems. Verify service history for consistency with the MOT records. Negotiate aggressively given the high mileage and MOT failures. Be wary of potential hidden costs related to luxury vehicle maintenance. Check for any outstanding manufacturer recalls specific to 2015 C-Class models.

Diesel fuel economy for the 2.1L engine is moderate, with estimated combined consumption of 40-45 mpg. Tax band depends on CO2 emissions (likely £140-£160 annually for pre-2017 vehicles). Insurance group for a 2015 luxury diesel is likely in the mid-to-high range (Group 20-30). Regular maintenance costs will be higher than average due to premium parts and specialist servicing requirements. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,600.

Focus on the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust system, as these are common issues in older Mercedes diesels. Check for oil leaks around the engine and transmission. Inspect suspension components for wear given the high mileage. Verify that all MOT failure items (though unspecified) were properly addressed. Look for signs of bodywork repairs or rust, particularly in the wheel arches and underbody.

The vehicle has a mixed MOT history with two failures in 2021 and 2019, though no defects were recorded. At 91,557 miles (11 years old), its mileage exceeds average for its age. While the diesel engine and luxury brand offer potential value, the MOT pattern raises concerns about hidden issues.

No aggregate MOT data available for the MERCEDES-BENZ C model to assess general reliability trends.
