2015 Mercedes-Benz C 1.6L Diesel · ST65 ABU

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 148,768 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 15 December 2023 at 148,118 miles also showed a clean sheet. Across the available record the car has carried no advisories or failures attributable to mechanical fault, which indicates the recent upkeep has been consistent rather than declining. The mileage pattern reflects above-average use for an eleven-year-old car. Recorded distance rose from 114,535 miles at the 8 December 2021 test to 136,350 miles by 8 December 2022, then to 148,118 miles at 15 December 2023, before reaching 148,768 miles at the 2025 test. That equates to roughly 13,500 miles per year overall, though the gap between the 2023 and 2025 entries shows only 650 miles added across nearly two years, suggesting a period of minimal use or partial standing. The single failure on 8 December 2022 at 136,349 miles listed no defects, pointing to an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high lifetime mileage and the low recent usage that can accelerate corrosion or seizing of calipers. The clean MOT history offers no flagged structural integrity concerns, yet standing time between 2023 and 2025 may have allowed underbody corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen by the tester. Verify the service record independently and confirm the 2022 failure reason with DVSA before purchase.
