2015 Mercedes-Benz C 2.0L Petrol · YY65 TTE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in March 2026 at 59,410 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a cut offside rear tyre. This represents a stable trend following a significant failure in February 2024, which involved multiple mechanical and braking defects. Since that failure, the vehicle has maintained a clean record, suggesting the primary mechanical concerns were addressed. At 59,410 miles over eleven years, this Mercedes-Benz has notably low mileage, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. This low usage often means less strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to degradation of rubber components due to age. The mileage data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 3,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,600 miles recorded in the last year, indicating the car is used regularly for short trips. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and drivetrain components during a physical evaluation. The 2024 failure highlighted worn front and rear brake pads along with pitted rear discs, so a check of the current pad thickness and disc surface for corrosion is essential. Additionally, the rear prop shaft flexible coupling was flagged for deterioration in 2024; while the car passed since, this component should be inspected for further cracking or tearing to ensure it has not reached a failure point. The 2023 record noted front tyres worn unevenly on the edges, which often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage and age of the vehicle, the inspector should check for signs of dry rot in the tyres and perished rubber arm bushings. The previous inoperative engine malfunction light failure in 2024 also requires verification that the underlying fault was correctly diagnosed and not simply cleared.
