2019 Mercedes-Benz C 1.5L Hybrid electric · WM19 VFF

The vehicle presents a generally stable mechanical condition, though the most recent test on 2025-11-03 at 50,714 miles reveals a recurring issue with rear tyre wear. The tester flagged both the Nearside and Offside Rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit and wearing on the edges. This pattern mirrors advisories recorded in November 2022 at 27,069 miles, where all three rear tyres showed similar edge wear, alongside a cut in the Offside Front sidewall. While these defects fall under minor consumable wear rather than serious structural or mechanical failure, the repetition suggests an ongoing alignment or suspension geometry issue that the previous owner failed to rectify, merely replacing the tyres without addressing the root cause. Covering 50,714 miles over seven years equates to roughly 7,245 miles annually, a typical figure for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with no significant gaps or sudden spikes in usage between test dates. The recorded intervals show steady progression: 22,878 miles in May 2022, 27,069 miles in November 2022, 35,346 miles in October 2023, 43,945 miles in October 2024, and finally 50,714 miles in November 2025. This regular accumulation indicates the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than sitting idle for prolonged periods, which points to predictable wear on drivetrain components and suspension parts. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension and wheel alignment. The persistent edge wear on the rear tyres strongly indicates worn suspension bushes, dampers, or incorrect tracking that remains unresolved. Inspect the inner sidewalls of the current rear tyres for similar feathering or scalloping, and check the condition of the rear coil springs and drop links. Examine the sidewalls of all tyres for fresh cuts or damage, recalling the Offside Front sidewall cut flagged in 2022. While the brake and structural components have not triggered any MOT failures, verifying the condition of the brake discs and pads is prudent given the mileage, ensuring no binding calipers or uneven wear exist alongside the suspension anomalies.
