2018 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · OW18 XRF

The vehicle presents a stable mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 22 January 2026 at 67,670 miles. Prior to this pass, the same test session recorded a failure for immediate tyre replacements, indicating the previous owner addressed the safety defects promptly. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing without advisories from April 2023 through to the most recent inspection, suggesting reliable routine maintenance. The transition from a failure to a pass on the same day confirms the rectification of the critical tyre faults. Accumulating 67,670 miles over eight years results in an average annual mileage of roughly 8,459 miles, which sits well within typical usage parameters for this model. The mileage progression is steady, with 41,009 miles recorded in April 2023, 48,413 miles in April 2024, 54,523 miles in January 2025, and 67,670 miles in January 2026. This consistent accumulation points to regular use rather than prolonged periods of dormancy, meaning wear on consumables and mechanical components aligns logically with the odometer reading. Despite the clean recent pass, the January 2026 failure for a deep cut to the nearside rear tyre and edge wear on the offside rear tyre warrants a close physical inspection of the wheel arches and inner sidewalls. A cut reaching the ply or cords suggests the vehicle may have sustained kerb strikes or road debris impacts, so a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel alignment is advisable. The tester flagged no structural corrosion or braking issues throughout the history, but a personal inspection of the brake discs and pads remains prudent to verify their remaining service life against the recent mileage increase.
