2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · OY15 AZD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in February 2023 at 79,132 miles resulted in a pass only after addressing specific failures. These failures included an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and both rear tyres reaching the legal wear limit. Since no MOT data has been recorded for over three years, the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unknown and likely requires an immediate re-test to ensure continued safety. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between the February 2021 test at 60,453 miles and the February 2023 test at 79,132 miles, the car covered 18,679 miles in two years. This represents a steady usage rate that typically avoids excessive wear on drivetrain components, though the three-year gap since the last MOT suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary recently or been used without formal regulatory oversight. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the previous failure of the ball joint suggests potential issues with rubber bushings and pivot points. The check should also extend to the control arms and shock absorbers for signs of play or uneven wear. Given that the rear tyres were flagged as dangerously worn in 2023, the current tread depth and age of all four tyres must be verified, as they have likely reached the end of their service life since that recorded entry.
