2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · RX65 NTF

The vehicle shows a stable but wear-heavy maintenance pattern, passing its most recent MOT on 2 December 2025 at 95,926 miles. While the car consistently meets the minimum legal standards for roadworthiness, the record reveals a persistent trend of deferred maintenance regarding the braking system. The tester flagged worn front and rear brake discs in the 2025 test, a condition that has appeared in every recorded inspection since at least 2021. This indicates that while the vehicle is being kept roadworthy, the owner tends to operate the car until components reach their wear limits rather than replacing them proactively. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. The data shows steady annual increments, moving from 68,081 miles in December 2021 to 95,926 miles in December 2025. There are no significant gaps or periods of long-term inactivity suggested by the mileage jumps, which implies the vehicle has been in regular, predictable use. This steady mileage suggests that wear on consumables like tyres and brakes is a direct result of standard driving rather than erratic or heavy-duty usage. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the braking system during a physical inspection. The recurring advisories for worn, pitted, or scored brake discs across the 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests suggest that the discs are frequently pushed to the end of their service life. The 2024 test also noted thin brake pads and tyre issues, including cracking and perishing on the rear tyres. You should check the current thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs to ensure they are not nearing the next advisory threshold. Beyond the brakes, the repeated mention of undercovers being fitted from 2022 onwards is a positive sign for the vehicle's underside protection. However, the history of tyre wear and edge degradation seen in 2021 and 2024 warrants a check of the suspension geometry and wheel alignment. Ensure that the steering components and suspension bushes do not show signs of excessive play, as the uneven tyre wear noted in previous years can often stem from these underlying mechanical issues.
