2016 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · RF66 TSY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding front-end consumables. The most recent test in December 2025 at 69,612 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front inner tyres as worn close to the legal limit with edge wear. This follows a recurring pattern seen in December 2024 and 2023, indicating that the owner has consistently neglected tyre condition issues despite repeated advisories. The mileage progression is consistent with a low-mileage urban profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 44,898 miles and December 2025 at 69,612 miles, the car covered roughly 25,000 miles at a steady rate. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the specific nature of the tyre wear suggests the vehicle may have been used for short trips or suffers from underlying alignment issues that are not being addressed during mileage-based maintenance. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and steering components. The persistent inner edge wear across three consecutive tests strongly suggests a tracking fault, worn ball joints, or collapsed control arm bushings that are scrubbing the tyres prematurely. Additionally, the rear brake discs were noted as worn in 2021 at 34,837 miles; these should be checked for current thickness and surface pitting to ensure they have not reached the end of their service life given the 35,000 miles driven since that entry.
