2011 Mercedes-Benz C 2.1L Diesel · VO11 LDA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative mechanical care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 147,090 miles passed, it carried over advisories for pitted front brake discs and slight play in both wheel bearings. These issues have been persistent across nearly every inspection record dating back to 2022, indicating that components are only addressed when they approach the point of 시험 failure rather than being replaced during scheduled servicing. The mileage data shows a significant discrepancy in usage patterns. Between August 2022 at 203,619 miles and August 2024 at 237,024 miles, the vehicle covered over 33,000 miles in just two years. However, the recorded mileage of 147,090 miles in the 2025 test is impossibly lower than the previous 2024 entry. This suggests either a clerical recording error by the tester or odometer tampering. If the higher figure is accurate, the vehicle has high-intensity use which places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record repeatedly flags excessive wear in suspension arm ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages, which led to a failure in August 2024. The persistent corrosion on the front brake pipes and the handbrake brake bracket suggests a long-term exposure to moisture that could lead to sudden fluid leaks if not monitored. Pay close attention to the condition of the brake discs, as the noted pitting and scoring indicate a neglect in maintaining these heavy-duty Mercedes components. Additionally, the wheel bearings should be checked for noise and lateral movement, as they have remained flagged as worn for several years.
