2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · RX69 UET

A flawless run of first-time passes with absolutely no advisory items or defects recorded over five consecutive years defines the mechanical profile of this vehicle. This unblemished record culminated in another clean pass on 17 June 2026 at 41,878 miles, establishing a highly consistent baseline of roadworthiness. From its initial inspection in July 2022 through to its most recent assessment, the vehicle has never logged a single failure, minor defect, or advisory note, indicating that the components inspected during these annual safety checks have consistently met the required DVSA standards. With 41,878 miles accumulated over approximately seven years, the vehicle has covered a modest average of just under 6,000 miles per year. The mileage progression across the five recorded MOT tests shows a steady, incremental accumulation without any sudden spikes, prolonged periods of off-road storage, or testing gaps. While this low-use profile reduces the overall mechanical wear on major drivetrain components, it does mean the vehicle has likely been subjected to shorter, more frequent journeys or regular periods of inactivity between trips. For a modern executive vehicle, such usage patterns require careful verification of the exhaust filtration systems and battery health, which are not fully evaluated under the standard MOT scope. Because the official DVSA history contains no flagged defects or advisories to target, a physical pre-purchase inspection must focus on areas common to this model generation that lie outside the immediate remit of a standard MOT or may have developed since the June 2026 test. On a test drive, prospective buyers should pay close attention to the ride quality and listen for any subtle knocking or clicking sounds from the front and rear multi-link suspension assemblies. Even though no suspension play or bush deterioration has been recorded, the rubber boots on the ball joints and control arm bushes can perish over time regardless of mileage, leading to fluid leaks or dry joints that manifest as steering pull or suspension noise over uneven road surfaces. Additionally, the braking system and underside require close visual confirmation. Although the MOT tester found the brake performance and disc condition acceptable, buyers should inspect the inner faces of the brake discs for corrosion or uneven pitting, which can occur on lower-mileage vehicles and cause pedal pulsation or judder under braking. It is also prudent to inspect the rear subframe for surface corrosion, a known area of interest on Mercedes-Benz models of this era, and check the engine bay for any signs of active fluid leaks or oil misting around the turbocharger and timing cover. Verifying these physical components on-site will complement the exceptionally clean paper record and ensure the vehicle's actual mechanical state aligns with its exemplary MOT history.
