2020 Mercedes-Benz C 1.9L Diesel · OV70 EWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT in March 2026. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent test indicates a lapse in basic tyre safety. The failure on 12 March 2026 at 28,840 miles resulted from a structural bulge on the nearside front tyre and damage to the offside front sidewall. These issues were rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed the retest the very following day. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The record shows a consistent pattern of use between October 2023 at 19,701 miles and March 2026 at 28,840 miles, representing just over 9,000 miles over thirty months. This low usage generally suggests less wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it also increases the risk of rubber component degradation and brake corrosion if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the current set of tyres to ensure no further structural defects exist, as the previous failure highlights a vulnerability to sidewall damage. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs for surface pitting or caliper seizing, which often occurs on vehicles that are infrequently driven. The history shows no recorded mechanical or structural defects between 2023 and 2025, suggesting the primary integrity of the chassis remains in good condition.
