2021 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Hybrid electric · SE70 CDK

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 30 December 2025 at 27,856 miles, with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. A cluster of tyre wear advisories and failures at the 18,339-mile mark in January 2025 has since been fully resolved, suggesting the previous owner addressed the issues promptly rather than neglecting them. This is a positive indicator of responsible upkeep. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2021-registered vehicle, averaging just 5,571 miles per year over five years. The record shows a steady accumulation from 12,800 miles in January 2024 to 18,339 miles in January 2025, then a more pronounced jump of 9,517 miles between January and December 2025. That second period suggests a change in usage pattern, possibly from a second vehicle to a primary daily driver. The gap between the January 2025 and December 2025 tests is nearly eleven months with no intermediate record, which is unusual given the mileage covered. A buyer should verify whether any servicing or repairs occurred during that unlogged interval. The only recurring fault area across the entire history is tyre wear, specifically uneven wear on outer edges and tread depth falling below the 1.6mm legal minimum. This pattern points to potential alignment or suspension geometry issues, though the January 2025 pass suggests the underlying cause may have been corrected. The December 2025 clean result at nearly double the mileage of the earlier tests is encouraging, but a pre-purchase inspection should still check front and rear suspension bushes, tracking, and wheel alignment to confirm the wear pattern has not returned. Brakes, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity have never been flagged, which is reassuring for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
