2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · RE15 FVR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in attention to consumable items. While the most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 60,435 miles passed without defects, it followed a failure one day prior due to parking brake inefficiency and significant structural failures in both rear tyres. This indicates that while the vehicle is capable of meeting standards, the owner appears to be reactive rather than proactive regarding safety-critical repairs. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, moving from 40,494 miles in September 2022 to 60,435 miles by late 2025. This low annual mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but it often correlates with the gradual degradation of rubber-based parts such as seals and tyres if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between uses. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, as the history reveals recurring issues with uneven tyre wear. In both 2022 and 2024, the front tyres were noted to be worn on the inner edges, which typically indicates an alignment issue or worn camber bushes. Furthermore, the recent failure of the rear tyres due to internal sidewall tears and separation suggests that the tyres may have aged out or suffered from impact damage, despite having had sufficient tread depth in previous years. The parking brake system requires specific attention following the efficiency failure in September 2025. The buyer should verify that the mechanism has been properly adjusted or that the components have been replaced to ensure consistent performance. Given the low mileage and age of the car, an additional check for dry rotting in rubber hoses and fluid age is advisable, as these are common failure points for low-mileage vehicles that are not driven frequently.
