2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · RC02 ART

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a successful MOT test on June 8, 2026 at 115,412 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though it reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the car failed in June 2025 due to a fractured offside front coil spring, the subsequent pass just two days later indicates that the specific mechanical failure was addressed immediately to restore roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage, with 9,569 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 6,796 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This regularity suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the engine seals and braking components by preventing seizing. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The 2024 test at 100,830 miles flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs along with a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit, indicating that previous owners allowed components to reach the point of failure. Given the broken coil spring in 2025, a thorough check of the remaining suspension bushes, bolts, and dampers is necessary to ensure no other structural failures are imminent due to the high-mileage environment.
