2008 Mercedes C 6.2L Petrol · RK58 UXD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred attention regarding specific wear components. The most recent test in August 2025 at 153,975 miles passed despite an advisory for the front brake discs being pitted and scored. This mirrors a finding from the September 2024 test at 150,925 miles, indicating that the owner has opted to monitor the discs rather than replacing them once they showed signs of degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between June 2021 and February 2023, where the car covered roughly 11,600 miles. Since then, the usage has remained steady, with about 4,300 miles recorded in the interval between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This consistent progression suggests regular use rather than long periods of storage, which helps prevent seals and rubber components from drying out despite the age. A buyer should focus inspection on the front braking system, as the recurring pitting and scoring across two consecutive years suggest the discs are nearing the end of their effective life. The suspension also requires a close look following the June 2021 failure for an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and rear arm. While these may have been repaired, the high mileage of the vehicle warrants a check for play in the remaining bushes and steering components. Additionally, the nearside rear lens has been a recurring defect for four years, suggesting a minor cosmetic oversight that has never been addressed.
