2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Petrol · WM19 VFB

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health following its most recent MOT on 31 July 2025 at 38,434 miles. This pass, issued with zero recorded defects, indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years. While the car struggled with tyre condition in earlier inspections, the absence of any advisories in the latest test suggests that the current owner has addressed prior concerns and maintained the vehicle to a higher standard. The recorded mileage of 38,434 miles over seven years averages approximately 5,491 miles annually, which is notably low for a Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The history shows a consistent, moderate usage pattern rather than long periods of inactivity. The jump from 12,449 miles in June 2022 to 19,164 miles in May 2023 reflects a period of increased use, followed by a steady accumulation of roughly 9,000 miles per year leading up to the 2025 test. This consistent usage is generally preferable to long-term storage, as it keeps mechanical seals and fluids active. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and brake components, as these have been the primary points of failure in the past. The recurring issues with tyre perishing and cuts suggest the vehicle may have been parked in direct sunlight or subjected to poor road surfaces, so check the sidewalls of all four tyres for signs of dry rot or uneven wear. Given that rear brake pads were flagged as thin at 29,525 miles in August 2024, verify that these were replaced during the subsequent service interval. Inspect the brake discs for scoring or lip formation, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes develop surface corrosion if the brakes are not used firmly on a regular basis.
